A review by eb00kie
Dulcitius by Hrotsvitha

4.0

Dulcitius is a short play by a 10th century nun. In most aspects it pales in comparison with the work of Greece and the Golden age of the fallen empire, especially in length, depth and technical quality. It is nonetheless elevated by the passion its author infuses and the very believable female characters, I mean, as it is reflected in the style of voice and dialogues, not especially their actions.

Granted, I imagine there is little a girl freshly confronted with the loving religion herein contemplates more fondly than her appropriate behaviour should she be offered the chance to accept martydom.
