The Madwoman on a Pilgrimage — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

In �"The Madwoman on a Pilgrimage,” a man's passion for a woman is shared� -- rather inconveniently� -- by his son, and both declare themselves her suitors. The woman struggles to escape their pursuits by implying a rather indelicate state of affairs. Her ploy works, and the resultant chaos and confusion for father and son create a brilliantly comic ending. Also included are �"Who is the Betrayer?” in which a man's nocturnal monologues reveal rather more than he would wish, and a third tale where erotic infidelity and inadvertent revelation are shown to go hand in hand.
