Manfred
 Manfred (Theatre)
comment
A "closet drama" by Lord Byron. It is written as a play but probably not intended by the author to actually be performed on the stage, as it would be hard to stage without Adaptation Decay.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The eponymous Manfred is a Swiss nobleman with the magic power to summon spirits. He is thoroughly miserable over the loss of one Astarte, and tries to contact her to find out whether (1) she is in heaven, (2) he will ever be reunited with her, and (3) whether his sufferings will ever end.

Deal with the Devil

comment
Deal with the Devil: Defied: Manfred makes clear he got his power from the study of nature, not from selling his soul. In the final scene, demons show up to drag Manfred to hell under the mistaken impression that he is a Faust Expy.

Cannot Spit It Out

comment
Cannot Spit It Out: Manfred spends a good chunk of the play telling one character or another that he can't explain what has made him so miserable.

Compliment Backfire: One evil spirit says of him, in apparent sincere admiration, "Had he been one of us, he would have been an awful spirit."
