(Johann Wolfgang) Goethe, Juan Wolfgango Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand: Ein Schauspiel This etext was prepared by Michael Pullen "Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand: Ein Schauspiel" by Johann Wolfgang Goethe is a dramatic play written during the late 18th century, specifically in the context of German Romanticism. The play centers on the titular character, Götz von Berlichingen, a free-spirited knight known for his rebellious nature and his iron hand, which is a result of a battle injury. Through Götz's struggles, the narrative explores themes of freedom, loyalty, and the conflicts between nobility and peasant classes, set against the backdrop of a turbulent political landscape in medieval Germany. The opening of the play introduces various characters in a tavern scene, highlighting the tensions brewing between Götz and the local authorities, particularly the Bishop of Bamberg. Discussions among the characters reveal Götz's ongoing feud with the bishop and his loyalty to his principles, making clear the perilous and precarious nature of his choices. Götz’s anticipation of conflict, alongside the introduction of supportive characters like his loyal squire Georg and the arrival of the monk Martin, sets the stage for the ensuing drama. Additionally, through interactions between Götz, his family, and his foes, the groundwork is laid for the exploration of personal and political allegiances that will unfold throughout the play.
