"Danton's Death" (German: "Danton's Tod") is a historical drama written by the German playwright Georg Büchner in 1835. The play, which was Büchner's first work, delves into the tumultuous events of the French Revolution, focusing particularly on the downfall of Georges Danton, a leading figure in the early stages of the revolution who became a victim of the Reign of Terror he had helped to create. "Danton's Death" is a significant piece in the canon of German literature and is notable for its modern theatrical techniques and its profound engagement with themes of revolution, power, and existential despair.

The play is structured around the conflict between Danton and Maximilien Robespierre, two revolutionary leaders with divergent views on the direction of the revolution. Danton, once a fervent supporter of the revolutionary cause, grows disillusioned with the incessant bloodshed and advocates for clemency and moderation. In contrast, Robespierre, driven by his austere and unyielding principles, insists on the necessity of virtue and terror to safeguard the revolution's achievements. This ideological clash leads to Danton's arrest, trial, and ultimately, his execution.

Büchner's work is characterized by its historical accuracy and its use of documentary evidence, including actual speeches and records from the period. The playwright's innovative use of language, mixing high rhetoric with colloquial speech, and his fragmented, episodic structure were ahead of their time, prefiguring modernist theatrical techniques. "Danton's Death" also explores existential themes, reflecting Büchner's own philosophical inquiries, as his characters grapple with issues of fate, free will, and the individual's place in a historical process.

Despite dying young at the age of 23 and leaving "Danton's Death" as one of only a few completed works, Georg Büchner had a profound impact on German literature and drama. His play remains a staple of the theatrical repertoire and continues to be studied and performed for its powerful depiction of revolutionary fervor and the tragic irony of revolutionary ideals consumed by the violence they unleashed. "Danton's Death" is not only a historical drama but also a timeless exploration of human nature and political power, resonating with audiences long after its creation.
