The second part of the trilogy of tragedies by the Dutch playwright Joost van den Vondel, written in the 17th century. In this work, the author reinterprets the biblical story of the fall of the first humans and the expulsion... of Adam and Eve from paradise, examining it through the lens of classical tragedy and deep philosophical reflections on good and evil, free will, responsibility, and human destiny. At the center of the action is the drama of the first humans, faced with the choice between obedience and temptation. Vondel portrays the biblical characters as complex, internally contradictory figures capable of doubt, pain, and compassion. The tragedy raises universal questions about the nature of evil, the role of free will, and the inevitability of punishment for pride and disobedience. The poetic language, rich in allusions and symbols, gives the work a special depth and expressiveness.
