The Germans in Paris isn't good. Harrys Kopf isn't good but it is occasionally funny. Almansor has two good lines and that's it. William Ratcliff I haven't read. This proves to me that Heinrich Heine cannot be the main character of a stageplay—and Heine is always the main character of the things he writes.
This doesn't mean he can't be a supporting character, for example in the work of my beloved mutual @semi-sepultusviator. But I am tempted to believe there is a curse at work with Heine and theater.
A little late to the game with Jeffrey L. Sammons but I think he's got a good head on his shoulders and I could see what attracted him to Heine. For example, on Almansor and William Ratcliff:
I still maintain that Almansor is not very good but very interesting, and this is one sensible way to couch it. As things go on, I wonder if Sammons won't turn out to be better with Boerne, "who critiqued the actors."
I wonder if Heine intended the Donna Clara from the eponymous poem and the Donna Clara from "Don Ramiro" to be the same guy. On one hand, both poems involve her engaging in dialogue with a mysterious lover who challenges her preconceptions. On the other hand, it's pretty hard to believe that a woman that bigoted would have not one but three people enjoy her company. She's definitely not the same Donna Clara as Zuleima in Almansor, who is called Clara after her baptism, although there's some parallels to the plot of "Don Ramiro" in the play.
I'm not far enough along in a biography of Heine to learn if there was a girl named Clara with whom he had a vendetta, or if it's the only Spanish-sounding woman's name he knows. I would believe either of him
The trouble with Heine's Almansor is that it is not very good and, as much as any play written in 19th-century "Germany" and set in 15th-century "Spain" is like to be, a bit exoticizing. On the other hand, it ends with the title character and his lover throwing themselves, arm-in-arm off a cliff and I am terribly fond of stage directions which can be represented by characters running out of the theater itself

Wbw Blue jeans + white shirt = your sig style ☺️ Unfortunately, there are no visiting hours up there. Happy Birthday, pa! 💙 We love you without a doubt. Missing you comes in waves 🌊🌊 Here’s a Tuesday trip down the memory lane: Vivid as it gets! Remember that time when I skipped my nursery class cos I didn’t feel like leaving home and when I almost killed one of the hatchlings? I peed on my shorts 🙈🤣✌🏼Yep anyone who messes up with you knows they will be floored in no time and you are generous enough to lend your last money to anyone who is in dire need of help. I guess you did well in hitting my legs with a plank of wood during those rowdy moments because no matter how exhausted I am, I still keep moving forward - doesn’t matter if my feet get blisters or I say, "kapoy na" with a blank face. And hey, I can totally kick some ass 😂🙈✌🏼. But sometimes I wish you were here to beat the crap out of some people I know. 🥺🤪 Joke! Kirig gyud ba. Until we meet again. 🙏🏼✨ #Almansor #familyiseverything #abuelito #grandfather https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxc7I6JAp5u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xodpfff648hp
That was but a prelude; where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people also. // Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.
Heinrich Heine
Where men burn books, they will burn people also in the end.
Heinrich Heine, Almansor
