"Der Parasit, oder die Kunst sein Glück zu machen" by Schiller and Picard is a comedic play written during the late 18th century. The story unfolds in Paris and revolves around the characters connected to Narbonne, a minister, along with his family and associates, highlighting the intricacies of ambition, love, and social maneuvering within a bureaucratic setting. The opening of the play introduces us to various characters, particularly focusing on Karl Firmin, who is deeply in love with Charlotte, the daughter of Minister Narbonne. He is ecstatic to learn of Charlotte's identity and expresses his unyielding affection for her, despite concerns about the social gap between them. As the narrative develops, an emerging conflict appears with Selicour, a manipulative man who seeks to elevate his position through deception and intrigue, creating a rivalry with those around him, especially La Roche, who is determined to expose Selicour’s true nature. The foundation is laid for a comedic exploration of relationships and the lengths individuals will go to achieve their desires in a competitive social environment.
