The narrative likely explores the conflict between the Saxon pagan traditions and the encroaching influence of Christianity, focusing on themes of loyalty, identity, and the struggle against oppression. Key characters include Canzler, the chief of the Saxons, Oswald, a shepherd who becomes entwined in the religious turmoil, and Selma, Canzler's daughter. The opening of the drama sets the stage for this tumultuous struggle between the old traditions and Christianity. It introduces a forest scene where Fritz and Rudolph, two Saxon foresters, discuss the threat posed by a metaphorical dragon that represents external forces, potentially the advancing Christian influence. Their dialogue hints at a prophecy concerning Oswald, suggesting a pivotal role for him in their fate. As the scene unfolds, the characters grapple with their identities and desires, foreshadowing impending conflicts and highlighting the Saxon determination to defend their way of life against this spiritual invasion. The interplay among characters suggests deep emotional stakes as they confront both personal and collective crises.
