Summary "Jeremias: Eine dramatische Dichtung in neun Bildern" by Stefan Zweig is a dramatic work written in the early 20th century. The play centers on the biblical figure Jeremiah, exploring themes of prophecy, conflict, and the struggle for identity and faith amidst tumultuous circumstances. Through its focus on Jeremiah and his interactions with other characters, the work delves into the emotional and moral dilemmas faced by an individual set against the backdrop of Jerusalem's impending doom. The beginning of the play introduces Jeremiah on the rooftop of his home, experiencing a terrifying vision that foreshadows the destruction of Jerusalem. He is overwhelmed by a sense of urgency and dread, sensing an impending catastrophe that others around him dismiss. As he grapples with his prophetic calling, he is interrupted by his concerned mother, who urges him to focus on building a life and fulfilling his duties as a priest. Their conversation reveals both Jeremiah's turmoil and the societal pressures of his time, setting the stage for the conflict between his prophetic mission and the expectations of those around him. This compelling introduction establishes the dramatic intensity and emotional depth that characterize the unfolding story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
