Summary: "Inferno; Legenden" by August Strindberg is a philosophical drama written in the late 19th century. The work explores profound themes of existence, despair, and the struggles of the human spirit through allegorical figures such as God, Lucifer, Adam, and Eve. The narrative delves into the creation of the world and the tension between good and evil, ultimately questioning the nature of reality and the human condition. At the start of the play, a dramatic confrontation unfolds between God and Lucifer in the heavens, where God expresses his intent to create a new world filled with beings who will foolishly challenge divine authority. Lucifer, embodying enlightenment, warns against the suffering that will ensue, expressing his desire to reveal the truth to humanity. The dialogue sets the stage for a cosmic battle between forces of good and evil, as it introduces Adam and Eve on Earth, who soon encounter temptation personified by Lucifer in the form of a serpent. This opening portion hints at the blending of existential inquiry and moral conflict that permeates the work, setting a tone of foreboding as it contemplates human ignorance and the pursuit of knowledge.
