Produced by Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders "The Works of Aphra Behn, Volume II" by Aphra Behn is a collection of dramatic works written during the late 17th century. The volume includes various plays, starting with "Abdelazer; or, The Moor's Revenge," which follows the complex web of revenge, love, and political intrigue surrounding the character Abdelazer, a Moorish general entangled in conflict with the Spanish royal family. At the start of "Abdelazer," the reader is introduced to a dramatic tension that centers on themes of power, ambition, and betrayal. The aging Spanish King has taken in Abdelazer, the orphaned Moorish prince, and appointed him as a general. However, Abdelazer's desire for revenge—a consequence of past injustices—drives him into an affair with the lustful Queen Isabella, leading to a conspiracy to kill the King. The opening intricately weaves dialogue showcasing Abdelazer's internal struggles and motivations as he navigates the treacherous court environment filled with plots and counterplots among characters like Prince Philip and Cardinal Mendozo. The stage is set for a tragic tale that blends elements of romance and betrayal, hinting at the violent and pivotal choices to come.
