(Charles) The Saint's Tragedy Transcribed by David Price "The Saint's Tragedy" by Charles Kingsley is a dramatic poem written in the mid-19th century. The work presents a portrayal of the life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, focusing on the tensions between her noble lineage and her commitment to a life of service and humility. It explores complex themes of love, sacrifice, and spiritual fulfillment through the character of Elizabeth, whose deep compassion and struggles embody the essence of medieval spirituality amidst societal expectations. At the start of the play, we encounter Elizabeth, who is depicted as a young, sensitive princess feeling isolated in her new surroundings and misunderstood by the court. Despite her royal status, she yearns for true friendship and feels the weight of her impending marriage to Lewis. The dialogue introduces key figures in Elizabeth's life, such as her nurse Isentrudis and Count Walter, hinting at the conflicts that arise from her passionate desire to serve the poor while grappling with the constraints of noble life. The opening scenes set an emotional stage for Elizabeth’s internal struggle and foreshadow her transformation as she begins to reconcile her identity as a saintly figure with her earthly emotions and responsibilities.
