About this eBook

Author Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von, 1749-1832
Title Die Laune des Verliebten
Ein Schäferspiel in Versen und einem Akt
Credits Produced by Andrew Sly
Summary "Die Laune des Verliebten" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a pastoral play written during the late 18th century, a period characterized by the Sturm und Drang movement in German literature. The work is a lyrical exploration of love, jealousy, and the dynamics between lovers and their emotions, encapsulated in a single act filled with poetic dialogue. The play revolves around the intertwined lives of four characters: Egle, Amine, Eridon, and Lamon. Set in a pastoral backdrop, the narrative unfolds as Egle and Amine engage in conversations about love, jealousy, and fidelity, critiquing their respective relationships with Eridon. Eridon’s tumultuous feelings of love and jealousy towards Amine lead to misunderstandings, with Egle offering pointed advice on how their passions can be navigated. As emotions peak, the characters confront their feelings, revealing the complexities of love marked by insecurity and longing. Ultimately, the play hints at the necessity of a balance between affection and independence, suggesting that true love thrives in freedom rather than possessiveness.
