Zusammenfassung

"Locrine" by William Shakespeare is an Elizabethan play published in 1595. It dramatizes the legendary Trojan founders of ancient Britain, following the aged Brutus as he divides his kingdom among his three sons before death. When invading Scythians threaten the realm, revenge and tragedy unfold through five acts of Senecan drama. Each act opens with the goddess Atë presenting symbolic dumbshows of mythological violence. The play weaves together dynastic conflict, arranged marriage, warfare, and ghostly vengeance in a foundation myth for England itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
