This essay attempts to draw an innovative map of melodramatic sensitivity according to specific criteria of genre and form. It derives its inspiration from themes found in Fassbinder's cinematgraphy - such as the complex interplay of love, power and desire - and then proceeds on three different axes based on The bitter tears of Petra von Kant, A Streetcar Named Desire andVeronika Voss.
