The Saint's Tragedy
商品資訊
商品簡介
"The Saint's Tragedy" is a play written by Charles Kingsley, first published in 1848. It's a historical drama set in the Middle Ages and is based on the life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, a 13th-century noblewoman renowned for her charitable works.
The play revolves around the life of Elizabeth, who is depicted as a virtuous and compassionate woman dedicated to serving the poor and needy. Despite being a princess, she forsakes the comforts of her privileged life to help those less fortunate, much to the dismay of her husband, Prince Louis, who initially opposes her charitable endeavors.
The central conflict of the play arises from Elizabeth's unwavering commitment to her faith and her desire to live a life of piety and service, conflicting with the expectations of her royal position and the demands of her husband and court. The narrative explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the clash between worldly power and spiritual devotion.
As the story unfolds, Elizabeth faces various trials and tribulations, including opposition from her husband and courtiers, as well as personal struggles with doubt and temptation. Despite these challenges, she remains steadfast in her beliefs and ultimately emerges as a symbol of selflessness and devotion to God.
"The Saint's Tragedy" is not only a dramatization of Elizabeth's life but also serves as a commentary on the tensions between secular and religious authority, as well as the importance of humility and compassion in the face of adversity. Kingsley's work offers a poignant portrayal of a saintly figure whose example continues to inspire audiences with its timeless message of faith and altruism.
