A.Dorfrichter Adam
B.Gerichtsrat Walter
C.Schreiber Licht
D.Ruprecht
Explanation: Dorfrichter (village judge) Adam presides over the case of Frau Marthe Rull's broken jug, and the trial gradually reveals that Adam himself broke it while fleeing Eve's room.
6Who owns the jug that gives the play its title?
A.Frau Marthe Rull
B.Eve
C.Frau Brigitte
D.Frau Walter
Explanation: Frau Marthe Rull brings the case to court because her prized jug — decorated with a historical scene — was broken in her daughter Eve's room.

A.A visiting inspecting official conducting an official Revision of the courts
B.Eve's uncle
C.The village mayor
D.A traveling merchant
Explanation: Walter is a Gerichtsrat from Utrecht sent to inspect rural courts; his unexpected presence in Huisum forces Adam to preside over a case that exposes his own guilt.

A.A fall he says he suffered that morning

A.A rival named Lebrecht, whom he believes fled through the window
B.Schreiber Licht
C.Gerichtsrat Walter

A.The corruption and self-interest that can undermine legal authority
B.The virtue of rural simplicity over city sophistication
C.The triumph of romantic love over social class

Explanation: By making the presiding judge the actual culprit, Kleist stages a comic but pointed critique of how power can corrupt the very institution meant to deliver justice.
