| Summary | "Plays by August Strindberg, Third Series" by August Strindberg is a collection of theatrical works written in the early 20th century. This volume features a variety of plays that showcase Strindberg's evolution as a playwright, moving from naturalistic themes to explorations of mysticism and symbolism. The collection contains notable works such as "Swanwhite," a fairy tale-like narrative centered on themes of love, innocence, and the complex relationships between characters, particularly focusing on Swanwhite, her stepmother, and a prince. At the start of "Swanwhite," we are introduced to an enchanted world where tension brews between Swanwhite, her tyrannical stepmother, and noble figures like the Duke and the Prince. The Stepmother wields power and intimidation, particularly over Swanwhite, who is caught in the struggle between obedience and her yearning for freedom and love. As the curtain rises, we witness interactions filled with dramatic undertones, setting the stage for Swanwhite's eventual pursuit of love and her dreamlike escapade with the Prince. The dialogue reveals layered dynamics and hints of fantastical elements, immersing readers in a whimsical yet tumultuous narrative from the very beginning.
