Summary "Die Mitschuldigen" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a comedic play written in the late 18th century, specifically during the Sturm und Drang period. This work presents themes of love, jealousy, and morality, entwined through the interactions among the characters in a tavern setting. The play features a cast that includes a host, his daughter Sophie, her husband Söller, and Alcest, a returning suitor, as they navigate the complexities of relationships and societal expectations. The storyline revolves around the characters' entangled lives, primarily focusing on Sophie, who finds herself torn between her husband Söller and her former love, Alcest. As the plot unfolds, misunderstandings and deceptions lead to a theft from Alcest, which complicates matters further. Söller, motivated by desperation, becomes involved in the theft and its subsequent fallout. Ultimately, the comedic elements are highlighted through the absurdity of the situations, misunderstandings, and the humorous dynamics between the characters, culminating in a resolution that emphasizes the foolishness of jealousy and the redeeming power of love and friendship.
