"Jedermann: Das Spiel vom Sterben des reichen Mannes" by Hugo von Hofmannsthal is a dramatic work written in the early 20th century. This play presents a moral allegory centered on the character Jedermann, who represents the wealthy and self-indulgent man confronted by the inevitability of death. As the story unfolds, it explores themes of mortality, redemption, and the superficiality of wealth in the face of life's ultimate reckoning. The opening of "Jedermann" introduces a divine call to judgment, as God sends Death to summon the rich man Jedermann, who is blissfully unaware of his impending fate. He is depicted as consumed by his material possessions and social gatherings, treating the pleas of the poor and the urgency of his mother with indifference. As Death approaches, Jedermann's superficial friendships become evident, and his desperation grows when he realizes that his wealth cannot save him from his ultimate reckoning. The stage is set for Jedermann to confront the consequences of his life choices, revealing the urgent moral questions that underpin the narrative.
