Summary |
"Kuningas René'n tytär: Lyrillinen drama yhdessä näytöksessä" by Henrik Hertz is a lyrical drama written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Provence and revolves around King René and his daughter Jolantha, who is blind. The narrative touches on themes of love, hope, and the complexities of human emotion, particularly as they relate to Jolantha's unique plight and her father's desperate desire to restore her sight. The opening of this lyrical drama sets a rich scene in a beautiful garden, establishing both the serene and isolated world Jolantha inhabits. Characters, including the king, his daughter, and various knights, are introduced through a series of dialogues that reveal the tension surrounding Jolantha's blindness and her father's plans to restore her sight using the skills of the Moorish physician Ebn Jahia. This exchange of dialogue emphasizes not only the protective nature of King René towards his daughter but also the urgency and significance of the unfolding events, igniting a sense of anticipation about how these characters will navigate their intertwined fates.
