| Summary |
"Wallenstein 2: Wallensteinin kuolema" by Friedrich Schiller is a dramatic play written in the early 19th century. The work focuses on the historical figure Albrecht von Wallenstein, a key player in the turbulent period of the Thirty Years' War, and delves into his political machinations and the consequences of his ambitions. The opening of the play establishes a tense atmosphere in Wallenstein's astrological chamber, where he examines the positions of the stars alongside his associate, Seni. They discuss ominous celestial alignments that seem to align with Wallenstein's fate and his aspirations for power. As they converse, news arrives that a key figure has been captured, threatening Wallenstein's plans and loyalty within his ranks. The interplay of fate, loyalty, and intrigue is palpable as characters express their concerns over Wallenstein's ambitions and the potential fallout of his strategies, setting the stage for a conflict that intertwines destiny and human agency.
