typical and the characters aren't real. The German servant is, for instance, a caricature, a "type."
Renoir's characters usually are stereotypes but that doesn't mean their two-dimensionality detracts from his strength: brilliant and intelligent storytelling wedded to a philopsopher's mind.

Now which German servant???
She was Austrian.
