Summary "Die Koralle: Schauspiel in fünf Akten" by Georg Kaiser is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The work delves into complexities surrounding social classes and the human condition, primarily focusing on the interaction between a wealthy businessman, his family, and individuals from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Central characters include a billionaire, his son, and a secretary, who all navigate themes of wealth disparity and moral responsibility. At the start of the play, we are introduced to a contrasting cast of characters within a starkly depicted waiting room representing the "hot heart of the earth." The secretary engages with various distressed individuals seeking help, including a woman desperate for support and a man crushed by the weight of societal expectations. As the billionaire enters, tension arises from his concerns about his son's whereabouts and the societal responsibilities tied to his immense wealth. The dialogue reveals a rich tapestry of struggles, aspirations, and moral dilemmas faced by each character, setting the stage for deeper explorations of their interconnections in the unfolding narrative.
