"The Visit" is a play written by Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt, first published in 1956. The story revolves around Claire Zachanassian, a wealthy woman who returns to her impoverished hometown, Güllen, after many years. She offers the townspeople a large sum of money in exchange for the death of her former lover, Alfred Ill, who wronged her in the past. As the plot unfolds, the moral dilemmas faced by the townspeople highlight themes of justice, revenge, and the corrupting influence of wealth. The play explores how desperation can lead individuals to compromise their ethics, ultimately questioning the nature of human values and societal integrity.
