Synopsis

Minna von Barnhelm is a five-act comedy by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. It is considered by some to be the first German national drama. Written in 1767, it is a story of love and reconciliation set against the backdrop of the Seven Years' War.

The play revolves around Minna, a Saxon noblewoman, and Major von Tellheim, a Prussian officer. Tellheim, wrongly accused of corruption, is awaiting exoneration. His honor and sense of justice prevent him from pursuing his relationship with Minna until his name is cleared. Minna, however, is a strong and independent woman who resolves to win back her love through her own clever machinations. The comedy explores themes of honor, love, pride, and the complexities of relationships in a time of war and societal upheaval.

Lessing's sharp wit and insightful portrayal of human nature have made "Minna von Barnhelm" a timeless classic of German literature.
