In its German version the play is named Rausch, or Intoxication, which indicates the part played by the champagne in the plunge of Maurice from the pinnacles of success to the depths of misfortune. Strindberg has more and more come to see that a moderation verging closely on asceticism is wise for most men and essential to the man of genius who wants to fulfil his divine mission. And he does not scorn to press home even this comparatively humble lesson with the naive directness and fiery zeal which form such conspicuous features of all his work. But in the title which bound it to Advent at their joint publication we have a better clue to what the author himself undoubtedly regards as the most important element of his work-its religious tendency. The higher court, in which are tried the crimes of Maurice, Adolphe, and Henriette, is, of course, the highest one that man can imagine.
