Mann was a very sophisticated author, writing on several levels. A recent, comprehensive biography would enhance understanding. Also, there are many translations of his novella. Most of the earlier ones are deficient, some quite poor. A couple of the more recent ones are much better. There also is an annotated edition available.

I find it interesting that Gustav and Tadzio's sensitivites and reactions appear to be similar to each other's.Their unease was with good reason.

I knew Dirk in England in the late 60's early 70's. I do not claim to have been a close friendbut we met socially several times. I was in Venice when Dirk was there working in "Death in Venice" and he invited me and two other friends to visit him at the Hotel des Baines on the Lido, where much of the film was being shot. We saw several of the other cast members, including Bjorn Andresen the young Swedish actor.Dirk Bogarde, a lovely man.RIP.

A movie called "Forbidden Games" practically ruined the entire lives of the two child actors. I understand Andreson had a hard life. All we can do is admire the work of art.In 10 years, all Bogarde did with his square jet set in gold was to move it from his left to his right hand....Beautiful, even though lacking the incredible internal monologues.

that's because in Mann's Death in Venice, the singer represents one of the many messengers of death that appear throughout the story. The film actually depicts him quite accurately.
