June 16– From Manfred (1817) by Lord Byron
Summary: It's Faust on top of a mountain, but shorter.
Commentary: We need more closet dramas. If nothing else, they fit better for T5FSOB since you can just read them, but it's also just a neat idea. Come on over, hang out and drink at your friend's house, read a play. Good time.
Beyond that, Manfred is Faust, and I like Faust, so that's a plus. Summon some demons, try to get them to help you get a dead woman (who's probably your sister), die while demons try to drag you to hell. It's all very dramatic.
