| Summary | "Iphigeneia Tauriissa: Viisinäytöksinen näytelmä" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a dramatic work written in the early 19th century. This play is a retelling of the mythological tale of Iphigenia, focusing on her plight as she grapples with her destiny, the demands of the gods, and her desires for freedom and family. The central character, Iphigenia, is torn between her role as a high priestess and her longing for her homeland and family, particularly her brother Orestes. The opening of the play introduces Iphigenia reflecting on her years spent in Tauris, where she serves as a priestess of Artemis. She expresses profound feelings of dislocation and yearning for her homeland and family, feeling more like a stranger amidst the backdrop of rituals and sacrifices that dominate her life. As she engages with Arkas, a messenger from King Thoas, she learns of the impending arrival of strangers, ultimately foreshadowing her brother Orestes's arrival. The interactions highlight her internal conflict as she grapples with her identity and the chains of fate, setting the stage for the dramatic unfolding of events centered around themes of duty, sacrifice, and familial bonds.
