Summary:

"Love? What does love mean in this fearsome drama? Not much that is
affirmative. Not much to heat the heart of a sentimental spectator.
It signifies a passion that amounts to illness, an alternately aching
and frantic desire that cannot be slaked. The three characters who
love strive to conquer love by straining their will power to its
elastic limits. And what does loved mean here? Not the ecstasy of
glowing with selflessness and basking in another's affection, but a
tormenting burden that cannot be shaken off, can only be readjusted
to serve as an instrument of convenience or harm." from the Afterword
by Albert Bermel
