Cain

Book • 1822
In 'Cain: A Mystery', Lord Byron dramatizes the story of Cain and Abel, focusing on Cain's existential crisis and his interactions with Lucifer.

The play delves into philosophical questions about the nature of good and evil, and the consequences of pride and envy.

It is heavily influenced by John Milton's 'Paradise Lost' and reflects Byron's fascination with the darker aspects of human nature.
