# Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy

By Friedrich Schiller.

"Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy" by Friedrich Schiller is a five-act play written in 1784. When Ferdinand, a nobleman's son, falls in love with Luise, daughter of a middle-class musician, their forbidden romance faces deadly opposition. Ferdinand's powerful father schemes to marry him off to the duke's mistress instead, while a sinister plot involving false letters and forced oaths threatens to destroy the young lovers' bond. This bourgeois tragedy explores class conflict and individual freedom against courtly intrigue in eighteenth-century Germany. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
