| Summary | "Œuvres complètes de lord Byron, Tome 07" by Baron George Gordon Byron is a historical tragedy written in the early 19th century. This volume includes the play "Sardanapale" and presents the complexities of royal responsibilities through its central character, King Sardanapale, whose indulgence and hedonism lead to unrest within his kingdom. The themes of power, decadence, and the struggles between duty and desire are likely focal points of this work. The opening of "Sardanapale" introduces the eponymous king, characterized by his effeminate nature and neglect of his royal duties, much to the frustration of his subjects and family. In a tense atmosphere, Salemènes, Sardanapale’s brother-in-law, expresses deep concern over the king's lifestyle and potential threats to his reign, asserting that Sardanapale must rediscover his strength and responsibilities as a ruler. Despite his brother's counsel and the growing unrest, Sardanapale remains largely indifferent, preferring a life filled with pleasures over confronting the looming dangers in his kingdom. This dynamic sets the stage for a conflict that intertwines personal desires with the fate of nations, foreshadowing the tragic events that will unfold.
