Weissagung

by Arthur Schnitzler

The play within the play is set in a castle, where a group of friends gather to perform a play on a lawn. The main character, Freiherr von Umprecht, is a man who has had a prophetic vision of his own death. He sees himself lying on a bier, surrounded by a grieving red-haired woman and two children. This vision corresponds to the ending of the play, which has not yet been written. Freiherr von Umprecht is convinced that the play is a sign of his impending doom, and he becomes increasingly anxious as the day of the performance approaches.
