"The Robbers" is a play written by Friedrich Schiller in 1781. It tells the story of two brothers, Karl and Franz, who represent opposing moral values. Karl, the elder brother, becomes a leader of a group of outlaws, rebelling against societal norms and seeking freedom, while Franz embodies manipulation and greed. The play explores themes of freedom, justice, and the consequences of rebellion. As the brothers' conflict escalates, it raises questions about the nature of good and evil, ultimately leading to tragic outcomes for both characters. The work is a significant piece in German literature and reflects the Sturm und Drang movement.
