Detail Description
La-Yesharim Tehillah, Ramhal’s third and last play, was written in Amsterdam and is considered to represent the climax of his dramatic art. The play is an allegory in three acts of four, five and six scenes. It reflects his experience, and gives expression to the feelings of persecution he experienced at the time of controversy around him; at the same time it also reflects his belief in the ultimate victory of the just. Its dramatis personae are Sekel, Tehillah, Siklut, Hamon, Mehkor, etc. Emet has a son named Yosher who is the main protagonist of the story. In this work, as in his Migdal Oz, Ramhal uses commonplace love plots to give expression to poetic sentiments far beyond the conventional plots. Ramhal’s plays were accepted and admired by Hebrew writers and intellectuals in Italy and Western Europe, and many were influenced by them.
