Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Hell-Bent Fer Heaven' is a compelling three-act play set in the rugged Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Written by Hatcher Hughes, this dramatic work earned the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1924 and remains a stark exploration of religious fanaticism and the complexities of human nature. The story centers on Rufe Pryor, a manipulative and self-righteous figure who uses his outward religious fervor to mask his true intentions and stir up old family animosities.As Rufe attempts to court Jude Lowry and settle scores with the Hunt family, the play delves into themes of hypocrisy, obsession, and the thin line between faith and madness. The characters are deeply rooted in their Appalachian environment, bringing a raw and authentic voice to the stage. Hughes masterfully uses the dialect and social structures of the region to heighten the tension and moral ambiguity of the plot.A significant contribution to American theater, 'Hell-Bent Fer Heaven' offers a powerful critique of how religious zeal can be weaponized. It remains a gripping study of domestic conflict and psychological manipulation, capturing a specific moment in the American literary canon while addressing universal questions of morality and integrity.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
