Summary: "Don Carlos: A Play" by Friedrich Schiller is a dramatic work written in the late 18th century. The play explores the complex themes of love, power, and political intrigue during the reign of Philip II of Spain. The central character is Don Carlos, the son of King Philip, who grapples with his feelings of betrayal and desire in a court rife with manipulation and suspicion. The beginning of the play introduces us to Don Carlos in the royal gardens of Aranjuez, where he engages in a conversation with Domingo, his confessor, about the heavy burden of his emotions and the sorrow stemming from his relationship with his father and the queen. Carlos reveals his tumultuous feelings, particularly his forbidden love for his mother, Elizabeth. The first act sets the stage for the unfolding drama, displaying the tension between familial love and political obligation, while also hinting at Carlos's growing discontent with his royal lineage and the expectations that come with it. This intricate emotional landscape is further complicated by the arrival of the Marquis Posa, who serves as Carlos's ally and confidant in seeking freedom and justice for the oppressed.
