Summary "Lucrezia Borgia: Murhenäytelmä" by Victor Hugo is a dramatic play written in the mid-19th century. The work revolves around the historical figure Lucrezia Borgia, daughter of Pope Alexander VI, and her turbulent life entwined with themes of power, betrayal, and complex familial relationships. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the entrenched corruption and moral decay of Italy during the Renaissance. The opening of the play begins with a festively illuminated terrace in Venice, where masked guests mingle amid music and revelry. We are introduced to a group of young noblemen discussing the recent dark events linked to the Borgia family, particularly the mysterious murder of Giovanni Borgia by his brother Cesare. Amidst this atmosphere, Gennaro, a captain with no known family ties, becomes embroiled in the upcoming political intrigues and romantic entanglements with Lucrezia, who veils her identity as she grapples with her past. The tension builds with the revelation of familial deception, love, and the overarching dread of encountering the infamous Borgia legacy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
