Summary | "Huttens letzte Tage" by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer is a poetic drama written during the late 19th century. The work revolves around Ulrich von Hutten, a historical figure known as a knight, poet, and passionate reformer during the Reformation period. The narrative delves into his final days, exploring themes of struggle, conflict, and the quest for truth against the backdrop of societal and religious strife. The opening of the poem introduces Hutten as he arrives at the Ufenau island, a place that offers him peace but also reminds him of his struggles. He reflects on his past and the battles he fought, both in the literal sense and in the realm of ideas, indicating an ongoing internal conflict between his warrior spirit and his poetic endeavors. As Hutten settles into his new environment, memories of battles and expectations of impending conflict haunt him. His conversations with other characters, such as the priest and the doctor, reveal the tension between resignation and the desire for resistance, ultimately setting the stage for a meditation on life, legacy, and mortality.
