Contrasting characters play a significant role, with established author Gustav von Aschenbach juxtaposed against the inexperienced young engineer. The narrative explores themes of desire through the allure of the beautiful Polish boy Tadzio and the contrasting figure of the Russian Madame Chauchat. Geographically, the story shifts from the lowlands of the Italian coast to an alpine resort known for its health benefits, symbolizing a deeper exploration of life, death, and the human condition.
