Subject Matter
drama
Oppressed by the industrial city, the Protagonist dreams of the countryside. Once there, though, he witnesses a lynching. He works for a farmer, makes advances to the farmer's shocked wife, and is chased away. A second farmer, deep in the forest, takes him in. After a long time of work and learning he dreams of leading the workers in rebellion. Returning to the city he finds it largely idle and the workers desperate. When police attack peacefully gathered workers he kills one of the police, but is killed himself in turn.
