| Summary |
"Der lebende Leichnam: Drama in sechs Akten (zwölf Bildern)" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a drama likely written in the late 19th century. The play explores complex themes of love, betrayal, and societal expectations, particularly through the characters of Fjodor Wasiljewitsch Protasow (Fedja), his wife Jelisaweta Andrejewna Protasowa (Lisa), and their struggles with relationships and personal freedom. The opening of the drama introduces us to the Protasow family in Moscow, focusing initially on Lisa's mother, Anna Pawlowna, who expresses concern about Lisa's emotional turmoil resulting from her strained marriage to Fedja. The dialogue reveals the struggle within their domestic life, highlighting conflicts about love, infidelity, and the possibility of divorce. As the scene unfolds, both Lisa and Anna Pawlowna grapple with the implications of separation and the existence of another potential suitor, Viktor Karenin, who still holds feelings for Lisa. The stage is set for a gripping exploration of the characters’ interpersonal dynamics and the societal pressures they face as the narrative progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
