| Summary | "Hernani" by Victor Hugo is a drama written during the early 19th century, specifically in 1830. This play marks a significant point in the Romantic movement, detailing the passionate and tumultuous love story of Hernani, a noble bandit, and Doña Sol, as they navigate the constraints of society, love, and honor amid the political backdrop of 16th-century Spain. Key characters include Hernani, Doña Sol, and various nobles who create a web of conflict around their passionate affair. At the start of "Hernani," we are introduced to a scene in a dimly lit chamber where Doña Josefa is preparing for the arrival of Hernani and is startled by the unexpected entrance of Don Carlos, who is revealed to be Hernani's fierce rival. Tension builds as Hernani arrives, expressing his deep love for Doña Sol while struggling with the societal pressures and his quest for vengeance against the royal family. The opening sets the stage for the conflicts that will define the play, revealing themes of love, duty, and the individual versus societal expectations, and hinting at the complexities that arise as Hernani confronts the powerful figures around him.
