| Summary | "Ein Geschlecht: Tragödie" by Fritz von Unruh is a dramatic play written during the early 20th century. This work encapsulates the harrowing experiences and emotional turmoil of a family torn apart by the impacts of war. The narrative unfolds on a mountain graveyard, where the characters grapple with profound themes of love, duty, guilt, and the human cost of conflict. The play centers around a mother and her children, who face the repercussions of war as they contend with the loss of loved ones and the moral dilemmas that arise from familial loyalty and national duty. The eldest son, burdened by the weight of war and its brutal realities, struggles with his identity and the expectations placed upon him by society. As the characters confront their intertwined fates amidst the madness of conflict, they too must reconcile their roles both within the family unit and in the broader context of national honor and sacrifice. The play explores the tension between the love of a mother for her children and the harsh demands of a militaristic society, ultimately portraying the tragedy of the human condition in the face of relentless external pressures.
