| Summary |
"Dramas (1 de 2): Hernani; El Rey se divierte; Los Burgraves" by Victor Hugo is a collection of theatrical works written in the early 19th century. This compilation features three notable dramas, with "Hernani" being a central piece that explores themes of love, honor, revenge, and the conflict between social classes. It particularly follows the passionate relationship between Hernani, a nobleman turned bandit, and Doña Sol, who is caught between her love for Hernani and her obligation to marry an older, powerful suitor. The opening of "Hernani" sets the stage for a complex love triangle amidst a backdrop of political intrigue and personal vendetta. It introduces key characters: Hernani, who harbors a deep-seated grudge against the king (Don Carlos) for his father's unjust execution, and Doña Sol, who secretly loves Hernani but is betrothed to her uncle, the wealthy and aging Ruy Gomez de Silva. As tension escalates, we witness Hernani's desperation and fury at the intertwining of love and wrath, while the political stakes increase with the entrance of Don Carlos, who desires Doña Sol and remains unaware of her feelings for Hernani. This gripping introduction hints at themes of romantic entanglement and the quest for personal freedom set against the constraints of feudal society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
