"Das Licht leuchtet in der Finsternis: Drama in vier Aufzügen" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a dramatic work written during the late 19th century. This uncompleted play delves into the inner struggles of its characters, particularly focusing on Nikolai Iwanowitsch Sarynzew, a wealthy landowner who fervently desires to live by Christian principles by giving away his possessions to the poor. The narrative explores the tension between idealism and the harsh realities of life, highlighting themes of social responsibility and personal conflict. The opening of the drama introduces the reader to the domestic life of Sarynzew's family and their concerns regarding his increasingly radical ideas. His wife, Maria, and her sister express worry about his detachment from family duties and his obsessive commitment to a Christian lifestyle that disregards their practical needs. Through conversations among family members and visits from local clergy, the audience grasps the escalating tension between Sarynzew's ideals and the expectations of his family. This tension sets the stage for exploring broader social issues, particularly the divide between the wealthy and the poor, and the moral dilemmas faced by those who consider their ethical obligations to others.
