The visit
Book • 1956
Friedrich Dürrenmatt's "The Visit" is a darkly comedic and satirical play that explores themes of justice, revenge, and the corrupting influence of wealth.
The play centers on Claire Zachanassian, an incredibly wealthy woman who returns to her impoverished hometown after many years.
She offers the town a vast sum of money in exchange for the execution of her former lover, Alfred Ill. The townspeople, initially resistant, gradually succumb to the lure of wealth, revealing their moral bankruptcy.
The play's ending is both shocking and thought-provoking, leaving the audience to contemplate the nature of justice and the price of greed.
