Summary: "A King's Daughter: A Tragedy in Verse" by John Masefield is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The story pivots around the complex figure of Queen Jezebel, who grapples with political and personal turmoil as the Queen of Samaria amidst strife with the Syrians and insubordination within her court. Central to the narrative is her relationship with King Ahab, as well as the threats posed by religious fervor and burgeoning rebellion against their rule. The opening of the play introduces Jezebel reflecting on the tensions faced in her realm, highlighting King Ahab's brooding despair due to rebellion and challenges to his authority. As she anticipates the arrival of their eldest son, Prince Ahaziah, to bolster their defenses, the stage is set for conflict involving rival factions orchestrated by the prophet Jehu and the vengeful populace stirred against her. The Queen's resolve to maintain her influence amidst doubts and threats underscores the interplay of power and fear that will continue throughout the play.
