Summary "Miss Sara Sampson" by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a tragic play written during the mid-18th century. The story revolves around Sara Sampson, the daughter of Sir William Sampson, who has been drawn away by the temptations of a dissolute suitor, Mellefont, and now finds herself in a complex struggle between love and moral integrity. The themes of parental love, betrayal, and the conflicts of society play a significant role as characters navigate their relationships and the consequences of their actions. The beginning of the play sets the stage dramatically, introducing a heartbroken Sir William and his loyal servant, Waitwell, who lament Sara's departure from the safety and virtue of her father's home. The opening scene unfolds in a tavern, where Sir William expresses deep anguish over Sara's alleged fall from grace, while Waitwell tries to reassure him of her goodness. Meanwhile, Mellefont is introduced as a conflicted character haunted by the consequences of his seduction of Sara, revealing his inner turmoil as he grapples with guilt and the impending turmoil his actions have caused. As the plot develops, the anticipation of Sara’s expected reunion with her father and the looming tension with Mellefont begin to paint a vivid picture of the challenges she faces in reclaiming her lost honor and love.
