The play "Peer gINT" is multi-faceted, deep and relevant. And it was written in 1867! It has everything: love, betrayal, dreams, contact with the realities of life, politics, romance, nature, rebellion, sins, faith, torment, throwing, music, etc. In the play, it is very difficult to understand: where is reality and where is fiction, because the main character flies high in the clouds more often than he stands on the ground. The dream of Reign and wealth calls him on his way. Countries, meetings, ups and downs... It will be many years before the hero returns home. However, the main thing is not whether the creatures he meets on his life's journey are fictional, and whether the events taking place are real. The main thing is the dilemma: what motto should you live by — "revel in yourself!"or" be yourself!"This is a philosophical parable about a man who lived in vain all his life, was 'neither a sinner nor a righteous man', and only at the end of his journey does he understand this truth.
