Mysterium

Mysterium is a drama by August Strindberg, written during his tumultuous 'Inferno Crisis' after his marriage to Frida Uhl. This work serves as a prologue to his later novel Inferno, exploring themes of madness, reality, and the human condition through allegorical characters such as God, Lucifer, Adam, and Eve. Strindberg's experiences during this period, marked by delusions and depression, heavily influenced the narrative, making it a significant piece in understanding his literary evolution.
