"Aureng-Zebe" is a dramatic play by John Dryden, set in the Mughal Empire during the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb. The narrative unfolds around the complex dynamics of power, love, and familial betrayal. The play opens with a prologue where the author reflects on the challenges of pleasing audiences and his own evolving taste in wit. The central plot revolves around the Emperor's sons, Aureng-Zebe and Morat, who are embroiled in a struggle for succession. Aureng-Zebe, the protagonist, is portrayed as a paragon of virtue and loyalty, torn between his duty to his father and his love for Indamora, a captive queen. The Emperor, swayed by the manipulative Empress Nourmahal, becomes suspicious of Aureng-Zebe's intentions, fearing his change of allegiance. As the political tension escalates, Aureng-Zebe's loyalty is tested, and he faces the dilemma of choosing between love and duty. The play explores themes of transformation, the corrupting influence of power, and the tragic consequences of misjudgment. Dryden's work is a reflection on the moral complexities of change and the personal sacrifices demanded by political allegiance.
