E-text prepared by Tapio Riikonen
"Götz von Berlichingen" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a historical drama written in the late 18th century. The play centers around the titular character, Götz von Berlichingen, a noble knight known for his fierce independence and valiant spirit during a turbulent period in German history marked by conflicts among the nobility and peasantry. Goethe's work not only explores Götz's struggles but also reflects broader themes of justice, autonomy, and the role of honor in a changing society. The opening of the play introduces the historical context and the character of Götz von Berlichingen, emphasizing the chaotic political climate of 16th-century Germany. Discussion among characters in a tavern hints at Götz's reputation and the tension between his noble standing and the increasing power of local rulers. Götz is portrayed as a protector of the common people, respected among them, which sets the stage for the unfolding drama around his confrontations with authority. The tone is marked by banter and camaraderie, yet underlying themes of duty, honor, and the struggle for justice emerge, foreshadowing the conflicts that Götz will face as the narrative unfolds.
