| Summary | "Ein treuer Diener seines Herrn" by Franz Grillparzer is a tragedy written in the early 19th century. The play centers around nobles and royalty in a historical setting, exploring themes of loyalty, love, and political intrigue through the interactions of the main characters, particularly Bancbanus, the title character, who serves King Andreas of Hungary, and his wife Erny. The opening of the play introduces us to Bancbanus, who is preparing to fulfill his duties as a loyal servant to the king amid the chaos caused by revelers outside his home. As he gets ready to leave for the castle, he expresses concern about the rowdy crowd, indicating a tension between his commitment to duty and the safety of his family. The scene also presents Erny, Bancbanus' wife, who is uneasy about the situation and his impending departure, foreshadowing future conflicts stemming from Bancbanus' responsibilities and the influence of other characters, particularly Duke Otto of Meran, setting the stage for the drama that unfolds as relationships and power dynamics intertwine.
