Freemen And Slaves - William Ball

Freemen and Slaves is a historical tragedy in five acts, written by William Ball and published in 1838. The play is set in ancient Rome and explores the themes of slavery, freedom, and power. The main characters are Titus, a wealthy Roman citizen, and his slave, Philotas. Titus is a cruel and selfish man who treats his slaves with disdain and uses his power to control others. Philotas, on the other hand, is a kind and intelligent slave who longs for freedom and a better life. As the play unfolds, the two men become embroiled in a power struggle that leads to tragedy. Through their interactions, the play examines the complex relationship between masters and slaves in ancient Rome and the moral implications of such a system. Freemen and Slaves is a thought-provoking play that delves into issues of social justice and human rights that are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
