David. The king has the priest killed, and from there he will go more and more towards delirium. In the last act, Saul foresees in a nightmare his own death and that of his sons and with a vision full of blood he awakens, and grasps the reality of the facts: the Philistines are attacking them, and the Israelite army is unable to defend itself. At this point Saul finds himself again, and by killing himself he regains the integrity of a man and a king. References 1782 plays Italian plays Plays based on the Bible Tragedy plays
