Die Aufgeregten by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Die Aufgeregten" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a political drama written in 1793 under the impression of the coalition war against revolutionary France. This unfinished five-act fragment depicts a group of rural inhabitants planning an uprising against their landowners over feudal rights. Led by the vain and manipulative Breme von Bremenfeld, the rebels clash with a liberal-minded countess recently returned from revolutionary Paris. Goethe called it his "political creed of that time," documenting his nuanced view of revolution, tyranny, and justice during Europe's tumultuous era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
