| Summary | "The Mortal Gods and Other Plays" by Olive Tilford Dargan is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. The primary play, titled "The Mortal Gods," focuses on a complex interplay of power, love, and betrayal within the royal court of Assaria, featuring key characters such as Hudibrand, the King, and his daughter Hernda. This collection explores themes of political intrigue and personal conflict against a backdrop of tension between different nations and social classes. The opening of "The Mortal Gods" introduces a richly detailed setting within a royal palace, where King Hudibrand converses with his Prime Minister and various nobles, hinting at impending political unrest. As they discuss matters of state, it becomes evident that there are darker forces at play, with mentions of revolution and treachery. The scene incorporates an intricate dialogue that not only reveals the characters' personalities but also sets the tone for the drama that will unfold, foreshadowing conflicts based on loyalty, ambition, and love, particularly involving Hernda and the complexities of her affections toward the Prince Chartrien and the motivations of Megario, the Governor. This opening sets the stage for a captivating exploration of human frailty amid grand ambitions. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
