Mary Stuart
Many have told the tragic tale of Mary Queen of Scots -- it is irresistible-but none more powerfully than Friedrich Schiller. Powerful is the word since, as Schiller himself put it: [Mary+ does not feel or excite tenderness. It is her destiny to experience and enflame violent passions .
