Der Freigeist by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
"Der Freigeist" by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a comedy written in 1749. This five-act play follows Adrast, a freethinker, and Theophan, a Protestant clergyman, who compete for the affections of two sisters, Juliane and Henriette. Adrast's prejudice against clergy creates conflict, but when both men discover they've fallen for the "wrong" sister, an unexpected solution emerges. The comedy explores how friendship and love can bridge opposing worldviews, uniting wit with earnestness, spirit
with heart. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
