Pariah." by August Strindberg is a collection of two plays written during the late 19th century (the late 1880s). The collection features "Creditors," a tragicomedy dissecting the complexities of marriage and personal relationships through the lens of its characters, particularly focusing on the tensions between Tekla, her husband Adolph, and her former spouse Gustav. The intricate dynamics between the characters explore themes of jealousy, power, and the emotional debts that couples incur throughout their lives together. The opening of "Creditors" introduces us to Adolph, a painter, and Gustav, Tekla's divorced husband, who are engaged in a revelatory conversation within a coastal summer hotel. Adolph, recovering from a period of emotional turmoil, recounts his feelings of helplessness after Tekla's departure. Throughout their dialogue, Gustav subtly provokes Adolph, stirring doubts about Tekla's fidelity and the nature of their marriage. The scene creates a palpable dramatic tension as it leads Adolph to confront uncomfortable truths about his relationship with Tekla, setting the stage for the psychological explorations and conflicts that follow. This complex interplay marks the beginning of an emotional unraveling that casts doubt on the very foundation of Adolph's identity and self-worth, making for a gripping and thought-provoking start to the play.
