(Benjamin), Earl of Beaconsfield Count Alarcos; a Tragedy Reading ease score: 94.5 (5th grade). Very easy to read. Produced by K. Kay Shearin, and David Widger "Count Alarcos; a Tragedy" by Benjamin Disraeli is a dramatic work written during the mid-19th century. Set in the 13th century, the play unfolds within the context of the Kingdom of Castile, focusing on the turbulent emotions and political intrigues surrounding the titular character, Count Alarcos. Central to the narrative are themes of love, loyalty, and the consequences of ambition, as Alarcos navigates his relationships with his wife Florimonde and the Infanta Solisa, amidst a politically charged atmosphere. At the start of the tragedy, we witness the political landscape of Burgos and an introduction to Alarcos's world, which is marked by royal expectations and romantic entanglements. Two courtiers discuss recent court events, hinting at a royal marriage that may be at risk. We then meet Count Alarcos and his wife, who share a complex dynamic filled with tension as he grapples with his return to court after an exile. As whispers of political maneuvering and love triangles echo through the palace, the opening sets a tone of impending conflict, revealing Alarcos's struggles with ambition, loyalty, and his emotional past, as well as his connection to Solisa, further complicating the narrative tension.
