Minna Von Barnhelm
"Minna Von Barnhelm" by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a comedy written between 1763 and 1767. Major von Tellheim, wounded and dishonorably discharged from the Prussian Army, faces financial ruin while awaiting trial over bribery allegations. When his former fiancée Minna tracks him down at a Berlin hotel, he refuses to marry her due to his circumstances. Through clever deception involving exchanged rings and feigned poverty, Minna schemes to restore both their relationship and his honor in this celebrated German theatrical work.
