At the start of the tale, the moonlit city is depicted as quiet, with the revelry of the Emperor's court contrasting the intimate moments between Wolff and Els. Wolff, the ambitious son of a merchant family, is burdened by the demands of trade while yearning for his bride, Els, who expresses her jealousy over his dedication to business. This initial encounter establishes their deep affection and hints at future tensions. As they discuss Wolff's imminent business dealings that could jeopardize their plans, we learn of Els's sister, Eva, who is urged to join the festivities but is more inclined toward a pious life.
