| Summary | "Emilia Galotti" by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a play written during the mid-18th century. The drama explores themes of power, desire, and moral conflict, centering around the characters Emilia Galotti, her father Odoardo, and Hettore Gonzaga, the Prince of Guastalla, who becomes infatuated with Emilia. At the start of the play, the Prince is seen dealing with various matters of state, including pleas for help, which hint at his frustrations and desires. His attention diverts when he discovers a portrait of Emilia, igniting his obsession. Meanwhile, Emilia prepares for her marriage to Graf Appiani, unaware of the Prince's intentions and the looming danger. The opening sets a tone of tension and foreshadows the tragic events that will unfold, highlighting Emilia's innocence contrasted with the manipulative political landscape surrounding her.
