Summary: "Vera; Or, The Nihilists" by Oscar Wilde is a drama consisting of a prologue and four acts written in the late 19th century. The play revolves around themes of political unrest and revolutionary fervor in Russia, exploring complex characters such as Vera Sabouroff and her commitment to the Nihilist cause, against the backdrop of Tsarist oppression. The opening of the play introduces us to Vera, her father Peter, and Michael, a peasant, at a Russian inn where they anxiously await the return of Vera. As the conversation unfolds, we learn about Vera's brother Dmitri, who has gone to Moscow to fight for liberty but is now imprisoned as a Nihilist. The dramatic tension escalates with the arrival of soldiers and prisoners in chains, and Vera's compassion for the condemned men reveals her dedication to their cause. When she uncovers that one of the prisoners is her brother, Dmitri, her resolve solidifies; she vows to seek revenge against the oppressive regime and maintain hope for liberation in Russia. As the prologue concludes, we see the intertwining of personal and political struggles, setting the stage for the dramatic unfolding of revolutionary actions to come.
