The Lawyers, A Drama in Five Acts
Charles Bowen
"The Lawyers, A Drama in Five Acts" by August Wilhelm Iffland is a theatrical piece written in the late 18th century. This play revolves around themes of morality, family dynamics, and the complexities of social class, particularly reflecting on the life and values of Master Clarenbach, a carpenter, and his son, the Privy Counsellor Jack Clarenbach. The narrative likely focuses on the conflict between the characters' personal ethics and societal expectations, as well as the challenges of maintaining integrity amidst ambition and wealth. At the start of the drama, we are introduced to Master Clarenbach, a skilled carpenter who holds steadfast views on honor and integrity. He finds himself navigating the challenges posed by his son Jack's newfound position as a Privy Counsellor, which has distanced him from the humble roots of their family. Clarenbach is critical of Jack's ambitions, particularly as they relate to an ethical dispute involving a will that negatively affects local orphans. The opening scenes establish the tensions between the characters regarding issues of social status, personal honor, and familial loyalty, setting the stage for a morally charged exploration of the consequences of ambition and the importance of remaining grounded in one's values.
