""Cain: A Mystery"" is a poetic drama written by the British poet and politician Lord Byron. The play is loosely based on the biblical story of Cain and Abel, exploring the themes of jealousy, revenge, and the human condition. The play begins with Cain, the first-born son of Adam and Eve, struggling with his feelings of inferiority towards his younger brother Abel. Cain's jealousy and resentment eventually lead him to murder Abel, and he is subsequently cursed by God to wander the earth as a fugitive. Throughout the play, Cain grapples with his guilt and attempts to come to terms with his actions, ultimately questioning the nature of God and the concept of free will. Written in blank verse, ""Cain: A Mystery"" is a complex and thought-provoking work that explores the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of our actions.THIS 126 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Cain: A Dramatic Mystery in Three Acts by Lord Byron, by Lord Byron.
