Klassenverhältnisse - Straub-Huillet, 1984

But then all of a sudden he felt her steadily increasing strength press against his body, and after quickly extricating herself, she caught him in a skillful tackle, warded off his legs with footwork from some unfamiliar wrestling technique, and drove him toward the wall while still taking splendidly even breaths. By the wall, however, was a settee, where she deposited Karl; then, bending down only slightly toward him, she said: “Now see if you can move.” “You cat, you wild cat,” Karl could barely cry out amid the muddle of anger and shame besetting him. “You’re truly insane, you wild cat.” “Watch what you say,” she said, and slid one hand over his throat, then began to squeeze it so tightly that Karl could only gasp for air. - Amerika, Franz Kafka
