The Robbers by Friedrich Schiller
"The Robbers" by Friedrich Schiller is a dramatic play published in 1781. This groundbreaking work centers on two aristocratic brothers locked in devastating conflict: the charismatic Karl and the calculating Franz, who schemes to steal his brother's inheritance. As Franz's manipulations drive Karl toward rebellion and violence, the play explores the blurred lines between liberty and law, good and evil. Schiller's emotionally charged language and unflinching portrayal of violence shocked eighteenth-century audiences,
making him an overnight sensation and profoundly influencing European melodrama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
