Aureng-Zebe, a tragedy by
Dryden, produced 1675, published 1676.
The plot is remotely based on the contemporary events by which the Mogul Aureng-Zebe wrested the empire of India from his father and his brothers. The hero is a figure of exemplary rationality, virtue, and patience, whose step-mother lusts after him and whose father pursues the woman with whom Aureng-Zebe is himself in love. This last of Dryden's rhymed heroic plays evinces a deeply disturbing awareness of the anarchy and impotence which threaten every aspect of human life.
