In his prose,"A Dramatist," Walser imputed Büchner's failure as an excellent dramatist to his personality. Later, Walser refuted such criticism. Juxtapose his opinion of Büchner and his refutation, and we can infer that Walser was probably in the opinion that Büchner, Kleist and himself were not well-known during their lifetime due to their personality. This is not only a self-criticism, but also a secret criticism of the prevailing opinion of his contemporaries.

他在一位剧作家一文中暗批毕西纳受限於自身性格，无法成为卓越的剧作家；若将此批评对照他之后於自我辩护信中的反驳，更令人怀疑瓦尔泽实是想藉此文表达：毕西纳的性格如同克莱斯特及其本身的性格一般，难以胜任人生舞台，故无法在有生之年享受成功的荣耀；而此看似自我批评，却也是对主流意见隐密不彰的批判。
