Summary "Der Weibsteufel: Drama in fünf Akten" by Karl Schönherr is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a man, his wife, and a young border guard, set against the backdrop of their home. The play likely explores themes of marriage dynamics, deceit, and societal expectations as the couple navigates a precarious life, hinting at an underlying tension between their desires and the consequences of their actions. The beginning of this drama introduces the characters in an intimate setting: a couple sitting together at a table, celebrating their wedding anniversary. The husband, depicted as weak and sickly, presents his wife with smuggled goods, showcasing a life entwined with illegal activities and a desire for a better future, including dreams of owning a grand house. Their interaction hints at a complicated relationship, where the man's cunning and the wife's willingness to support his schemes create an uneasy alliance. The introduction of the young border guard introduces further tension, revealing their precarious position and the potential for betrayal. The dialogue hints at deeper themes of loyalty, ambition, and the lengths one might go to for love and security in a challenging environment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
