The play revolves around the story of Sophonisba, the daughter of Hasdrubal, who faces the turmoil of war and the ensuing political machinations that result in her being caught between her loyalty to her homeland and her doomed love stories. Central to the narrative are the characters of Sophonisba, her maid Herminia, and the Roman soldiers, including the conflicted Masinissa. The opening of the tragedy introduces Sophonisba in a state of deep distress, haunted by the loss of her homeland and the precarious situation faced by her husband, Masinissa, in battle. In a heartfelt conversation with her loyal companion Herminia, she reflects on her family’s past, the shifting fortunes of war, and the weight of her impending fate. As the news of her husband’s capture comes to light, Sophonisba’s turmoil intensifies, culminating in a resolute choice that reflects her royal dignity and desperation. The scene sets the stage for a profound exploration of themes like honor, despair, and autonomy against the backdrop of personal and political conflict.
