The play revolves around the character Alceste, a virtuous and selfless woman who is willing to sacrifice her life for the sake of her husband, Admetus. In Greek mythology, Admetus has been granted the gift of avoiding death if someone else willingly gives up their life in his place. Alceste chooses to do so out of her deep love for him. The play explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by the characters. It also touches on the concept of fate and the consequences of one's choices. Throughout the play, the characters grapple with the impending loss of Alceste and the emotional turmoil it brings. The story examines the human capacity for selflessness and the profound impact of sacrifice on individuals and their relationships.
