Don Carlos

Don Carlos

by Friedrich Schiller

Don Carlos is a historical tragedy by Friedrich Schiller, set in 16th-century Spain. The play explores the complex web of power, love, and duty that surrounds Don Carlos, the heir to the Spanish throne. His love for Princess Elisabeth, the intended bride of his father, King Philip II, sparks a series of events that will lead to tragedy. Don Carlos's conflicting loyalties, his desire for freedom and his passionate nature clash with the rigid and oppressive court of King Philip II. The play grapples with themes of power, political intrigue, religious fervor, and the limits of human ambition.
