La gefratoj : Komedio en unu akto by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"La gefratoj : Komedio en unu akto by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe" is a one-act comedic play, likely written in the late 18th or early 19th century. The work, as indicated by its title, is a short theatrical piece with a focus on domestic relationships. The story explores themes of familial bonds, love, and identity, centering on the dynamics among siblings and close companions in a middle-class household setting. The play follows
Vilhelmo, a diligent merchant, his supposed sister Marianno, and their friend Fabricio. Vilhelmo is haunted by memories of Karolino, a woman he loved who entrusted him with her daughter. Fabricio harbors feelings for Marianno and seeks Vilhelmo’s blessing to marry her. Amid heartfelt conversations and confessions, it is revealed that Marianno is not actually Vilhelmo’s biological sister, but the daughter of Karolino. This revelation resolves the underlying tension between Vilhelmo and Marianno, allowing their mutual love to surface without the constraints of assumed siblinghood. In the end, Fabricio accepts the situation with grace, leaving Vilhelmo and Marianno to pursue a romantic union. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
