Moloch: A Play In A Prologue, Three Acts And An Epilogue

By Beulah Marie Dix

Book Overview

Moloch is a play written by Beulah Marie Dix that is divided into a prologue, three acts, and an epilogue. The play is set in the early 1900s and follows the story of a wealthy family in New York City. The family's patriarch, John Truscott, is a successful businessman who is obsessed with making money and gaining power. His wife, Elizabeth, is unhappy with their marriage and longs for a deeper emotional connection. Their daughter, Margaret, is engaged to a young man named Paul, but she is torn between her love for him and her loyalty to her father. As the play progresses, tensions rise between the family members, and secrets are revealed that threaten to tear them apart. Moloch is a powerful drama that explores themes of greed, love, and betrayal, and it offers a thought-provoking commentary on the corrupting influence of wealth and power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
