Summary "Danton: Kolminäytöksinen vallankumousnäytelmä" by Romain Rolland is a historical drama written in the early 20th century. The play focuses on the pivotal figures of the French Revolution, particularly Georges Danton and Maximilien Robespierre, exploring their complex relationships and the tumultuous political landscape of revolutionary France. Through its historical characters, the work delves into themes of power, morality, and the cost of revolutionary ideals. The opening of the play introduces the character Camille Desmoulins and his wife, Lucile, in their home amid a backdrop of political unrest in Paris during the spring of 1794. As Camille observes the passing crowds, a mix of exuberance and foreboding fills the air, reflecting the chaotic atmosphere of the revolution. The characters discuss their fears and hopes regarding the outcomes of their revolutionary efforts, highlighting Camille's despair at the violent turn of events. This initial scene sets the stage for the tensions between revolutionary ideals and the personal consequences that ensue, particularly as Danton's leadership and his relationship with Robespierre evolve amidst the growing threats to their political ambitions.
