Book Overview
Sethona: A Tragedy is a play written by Alexander Dow and first published in 1774. The play is set in ancient India and tells the story of Sethona, a princess who is forced to marry a prince she does not love in order to secure an alliance between their kingdoms. Sethona's true love, Arimanes, is a prince from a rival kingdom who is also in love with her. The play explores themes of love, duty, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. As the story unfolds, Sethona's marriage to the prince becomes strained, and she is torn between her duty to her kingdom and her love for Arimanes. The play ends tragically, with Sethona and Arimanes both dying as a result of their choices. Dow's play was well-received in its time and is considered an important work in the history of English drama.
