Egmont by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Egmont" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a drama completed in 1788. The play depicts Count Egmont's fight against Spanish oppression during the Eighty Years' War. Despite warnings of arrest, Egmont refuses to flee, standing firm in his ideals of liberty and justice. As he faces imprisonment and his mistress Klärchen struggles desperately to save him, the nobleman must confront the consequences of his unwavering honesty. This political manifesto explores themes of
freedom, destiny, and the price of principle against despotic authority. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
