Clavigo

Clavigo is a five-act tragedy written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1774. The lead role is taken by Pierre Beaumarchais. The play was written in just eight days in May 1774. It was published by July 1774 and is the first printed work to which Goethe put his own name, although the play was received with disfavour. (Source: Wikipedia) Clavigo stands indecisively as a "small person" at the crossroads: Should he opt for a bourgeois still life in domestic delights that makes him an "honest guy" through calming restrictions, or should he give in to the temptations of honor, power and greatness , the expansion of oneself through a great feeling that knows only the obligation for the whole?
