The Bride of Messina is a tragic play written by German playwright Friedrich von Schiller. The play is set in the city of Messina, Italy, and revolves around the conflict between two noble families, the Moor and the Freytag. The play opens with the Freytag family mourning the death of their son, who was killed by the Moor family. However, the two families are brought together when the Moor family offers their daughter as a bride to the Freytag family. The play then follows the events leading up to the wedding and the tragic consequences that follow. The Bride of Messina explores themes of fate, family, loyalty, and betrayal. It is considered one of Schiller's greatest works and a masterpiece of German literature.This strife! bring peace again, or soon Messina Shall bow to other lords. Your stern decree Prevailed; this heart, with all a mother's anguish O'erlabored, owned the weight of public cares. I flew, and at my children's feet, distracted, A suppliant lay; till to my prayers and tears The voice of nature answered in their breasts!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
