A short summary of the plot An extremely wealthy elderly woman returns to her former hometown with a terrible deal: she wants the townspeople to kill a man who became pregnant and then smacked her. In exchange, it will provide enough money to revitalize the city's decrepit. The townspeople eventually agree. The plot of Law I History opens with the town of Gulen (the name that causes liquid manure in German) is being prepared for the arrival of the famous billionaire Claire Zahanasiang, who grew up there. Gulen has fallen on hard times and the townspeople hope Claire will provide them with much-needed funds. Anton Schill (Alfred Ill in the German version) is the owner of gulen general store and the most popular person in the city. He was Claire's lover when they were young, and agrees with the mayor that the task of persuading her to make a donation should fall on him. Settling in a hotel, Claire joins the rest of the city who have gathered outside to celebrate her return home. Claire makes it possible to announce that she will make a huge donation: one billion (presumably Swiss francs), half for the city and half to be shared between families. The townspeople rejoice, but their happiness fades as Claire's butler steps forward to reveal her condition for donation. Butler was once Chief Lord Justice Gulen and heard a paternity lawsuit that Claire brought against Anton. In the lawsuit, Anton produced two false witnesses (who have since been turned into Claire's eunums), and the court ruled in his favor. Her donation is conditional on someone killing Anton. The mayor refuses and the city seems agassite, but Claire says she will wait. Action II Over time, Anton has become increasingly paranoid as he sees everyone buying particularly expensive items on loan at his store. Anton visits a police officer and mayor who have also bought new expensive things, and they dismiss his concerns. He then visits a priest who tries to calm him down, but finally admits they paid off, and advises Anton to flee. Schill heads to the train station to escape, but learns that the whole city is going there. They ask him where he's going and he says he plans to move to Australia. They wish him well, again denying him that he had nothing to fear at Gulen, but Schill is nonetheless increasingly nervous. The train arrives, but he decides not to board, believing that someone will stop it anyway. Paralyzed, he collapses into the crowd, crying: I got lost! Law III Claire wed the new man at Gulen Cathedral. The doctor and the schoolmaster go to her and explain that the townspeople have owed significant debts since its arrival. The schoolteacher pleads with her to give up her desire for revenge and help the city get out of the goodness of her heart. Nevertheless, Claire informs him that she herself caused Gulen to fall on hard times to ensure that the people would do anything for the money. Anton's terror grows when townspeople buy more expensive products on credit. After hearing Claire's wedding, reporters are everywhere, and they walk into the store to interview Anton. The schoolteacher, drunk, tries to tell the press about Claire's proposal, but the townspeople stop him. The schoolmaster and Anton have a discussion and a schoolmaster explains that Anton was murdered. Anton admits his guilt and admits the suffering of the city with his guilt. Then Anton is confronted by the mayor, who asks if Anton will make the city's decision. Anton says he will. Claire tells Anton that she never stopped loving him, but over time her love grew into something terrible. When Anton arrives for city meetings, he is inundated with the press, and the city publicly announces their acceptance of Claire's donation. Residents then go through the formality of the vote, which is unanimous, and the mayor claims they have Anton to thank for their newfound wealth. The door is locked and the lights are dimmed. Anton killed a townspeople. Just as the reporter reappears in the auditorium, the doctor announces that Anton has died of a heart attack. Reporters gather and declare that Anton died of joy. Claire inspects the body, gives the mayor her check, and leaves town with Anton's body in the casket she brought with her when she arrived. Themes Home Theme The author often emphasizes that The Visit is intended primarily as a comedy. Still, it's hard to ignore the serious, dark points made about human nature throughout the play. The use of restless humor was popular with German-speaking authors of this period as a method of pointing out concerns they considered important. The main theme is that money corrupts even the most morally strong people. The main theme of tragicomedy is also utilithiacism and its manifestation, seen in the play. Utilitiaryism is an ethical theory that distinguishes the right from wrong in relation to results. The School of Thought believes that the most ethical choice is one that benefits the majority. In the context of the play, the driving force behind Il's persecution and execution is solely on the basis that his death will cause the city to be lifted from the pits of poverty as Claire donates the one billion Swiss francs promised, resulting in increased living standards and economic prosperity. However, it comes at the cost of living Il, who represents a minority who suffer as a result of decisions made that benefit the majority. Women's rights did not reach full suffrage in Switzerland until 1971 [1] (in one canton until 1990); alongside neighbouring Liechtenstein, it was the only European country that restricted women's voting rights at the time. Women still lacked voting rights when the author re-frothed the play as an operatic libretto for Gottfried von Einham (premiered in 1971). The bogus vote at the end, where Claire has no say and then a false attribution of the city's new wealth to Anton, underscores this injustice in Swiss society. Symbolically, Claire lacks an arm and a leg – tools to control her fate. She was thrown by men into prostitution against her will. Satire of European art and history Durrenmatt uses a full-service museum in the city as a way to satirize the art and history of Europe. The Gulen Museum said in history sold everything it had to other museums located in America. It satirizes the idea that to learn about the history of Europe, you need to travel around America. The democracy democracy in the visit can be seen satirized in Act III, where townspeople gather to vote on the question of whether to kill or not the Sick. This event also raises the fact that everyone thinks someone will kill the Sick, but it won't be them. In the end, the vote goes against Il, and he is killed for a reward. This gives readers an example of how democracy can indeed be worse than other forms of government. Human bodies as objects/human work In the play there are several examples of this topic. One is Claire's prostitution, the other is the cost of Il of a billion dollars. In Claire's case, Durrenmatt pokes at the idea of selling her body. He describes prostitution in the same way as labor jobs. He asks if there is a difference between these two professions in terms of giving away their bodies for money. Alfred Illa's situation brings up another topic with the same theme. Il's body is worth a billion dollars. This suggests that his body can be bought, sold and consumed just like things in the economy. Il's body is made in the facility as soon as Claire puts a price on it. The film adaptation of the Play of the Maribor Slovenian National Theater in 1960 The visit is a popular production for german language students, as it is considered one of the keystones of German-language literature of the twentieth century. The play is also often used as text for those who accept German as a foreign language. Premiered as Besuch der alten Dame in Schauspielhaus Zürich, Ruedi Walter played the blind eunuch Lobby in 1956. [2] Friedrich Durrenmatt's original 1956 play was adapted for american audience Maurice Valancey; this version has a number of significant changes. His first Broadway theater production, in 1958, was directed by Peter Brooke and starred Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. [3] In Spanish, he performed in 1959 at Madrid's Teatro Español and The Catalan language was established in Barcelona in 1962. The play was adapted as an operatic libretto by the author and set to music by the composer Gottfried von Eyneham called Der Besuch der alten Dame and translated as The Old Lady's Visit, and was first performed in 1971.

A significant change is over. Just as Alfred Il (Serge Miller in the film) is about to be executed for staple the charges the city has created, billionaires are halting executions. She declares that she will give the money to the city as collateral. Her revenge for Miller is that now, as she declares, he must live in the city among the people who would execute him on false charges for money. In 1988, a TV movie called Bring Me Head of Dobie Gillis was a version of The Visit adapted into the characters and the world of Dobi Gillies's Many Loves. In 1989, a TV film called The Visit of the Lady was created in The Visit of the Lady. Based on the 1992 play, Senegalese director Djibril Diop Mammeti's Hyènes was founded.

The Old Lady's Visit (Vana daami viisit, 2006) is a sure, dark adaptation to television from Estonian theatre veterans Roman Baskin (director), Ita Ever (Claire) and Arne Ukskula (Ill).
