Luigi Pirandello's Enrico IV is a gripping play that tells the story of Giorgio, who ironically faints, believing himself to be the Emperor of Italy, Enrico IV. His friends put on a show where they each pretend life goes on in the Middle Ages in fictional costumes to help him correct his mistaken belief. Pirandello deftly explores the theme of identity, reality, and art, leaving the reader to ponder what is truly reality in this world. This is an impressive literary action that leaves behind many questions and reflections.
