(Johann Wolfgang) Goethe, Juan Wolfgango Die Geschwister: Ein Schauspiel in einem Akt Wikipedia page about this book: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Geschwister This etext was prepared by Michael Pullen "Die Geschwister: Ein Schauspiel in einem Akt" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a dramatic play written in the late 18th century, likely during the Sturm und Drang period, which was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and individualism. The play revolves around themes of familial love, longing, and the complexities of romantic relationships, particularly exploring the bond between siblings and the tensions that arise when love is intertwined with familial duty. The storyline centers on Wilhelm, a merchant, and his sister Marianne, who share a close yet complex relationship. The plot unfolds as Wilhelm grapples with his deep affection for Marianne, who is unaware of the nature of his feelings, believing him to be merely a brotherly figure. A friend, Fabrice, enters the scene proposing to marry Marianne, leading to a tangled web of emotions and revelations. Ultimately, the story culminates in a dramatic confession: Marianne is not Wilhelm's biological sister, but rather the daughter of his deceased beloved, Charlotte. This revelation shifts the dynamics of their relationship and opens the door to a romantic future, altering their lives forever. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
