Summary: "Jesús que torna: Drama en tres actes y en prosa" by Àngel Guimerà is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The play centers around themes of hope, faith, and social transformation, likely inspired by messianic narratives. At its heart is the enigmatic figure of Nataniel, whose presence stirs deep emotions and controversy among a diverse cast of characters—aristocrats, royalty, servants, and common folk—while exploring the impact of a possible modern-day savior appearing in a time of mounting war and unrest. The opening of the play introduces a noble estate abuzz with rumors about Nataniel, a stranger believed by many to possess miraculous powers and even to be the returned Jesus. The characters include the skeptical Count d'Orlof, the idealistic Gladys, the ailing Prince Demetri, and a supporting company of nobility and servants grappling with the social upheaval Nataniel represents. As Nataniel passes by with a following of fervent supporters, he is wounded in a confrontation but is cared for within the castle, sparking moments of compassion, skepticism, and awe among the house’s inhabitants. Early scenes establish tension between cynicism and belief, as well as between the older order and the transformative force Nataniel embodies, setting the stage for personal and political challenges in the shadow of an impending war.
