Granida by P. C. Hooft
"Granida" by P. C. Hooft is a play written in 1605. Set in Persia, it tells the story of Princess Granida who becomes separated from her hunting party and encounters the shepherd Daifilo. Their mutual attraction defies social boundaries, leading to elaborate schemes involving masked duels, fake divine interventions, and dangerous revenge plots. The play explores idealistic love versus earthly desire, contrasting corrupt court life with pastoral innocence as the lovers navigate
a world where virtue must triumph over class distinction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
