Summary | "There Are Crimes and Crimes" by August Strindberg is a play written during the late 19th century. This comedy delves into the complexities of human relationships, morality, and the hidden crimes that transcend legal bounds, often exploring the internal struggles of its main characters, such as Maurice, a playwright, Jeanne, his mistress, and their daughter Marion. The work navigates themes of faith, love, and the societal consequences of personal choices. The opening of the play sets a somber tone in a Parisian cemetery, where Jeanne and their daughter Marion are waiting for Maurice. The scene introduces the discontent and emotional turmoil of Jeanne, who fears abandonment, foreshadowing the struggles Maurice faces as he grapples with looming success and the implications it has on his family. As Maurice arrives, the dialogue reveals his conflicting feelings towards his family and career ambitions. Through conversations with other characters, Strindberg hints at deeper issues regarding faith, duty, and the potential consequences of Maurice's choices, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of interpersonal conflict and moral questioning inherent throughout the play.
