TNGF

SELECTED

Jan Hus

primary

A middle-aged man of slight build, with a gaunt face framed by a short, untrimmed beard. His deep-set eyes burn with fervor, and his sunken cheeks suggest the toll of imprisonment. His hands are bound behind him, and his posture remains upright despite his chains.

Bishop

primary

A tall, imposing figure in his late 50s with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His thinning gray hair is neatly trimmed, and his pale skin bears the marks of age and austerity. His posture is rigid, exuding authority and solemnity.

Executioner

secondary

A burly, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, unkempt beard. His hands are rough and calloused from years of labor, and his muscular build suggests a lifetime of physical work. His expression is grim and focused, with a hint of resignation in his eyes.

Weeping Woman

secondary

A middle-aged woman of common birth, with a frail but wiry build, her face lined with the hardships of peasant life. Her dark hair is streaked with grey, loosely tied back under a simple cloth, and her hands are rough from labor. Her eyes are red and swollen from crying, and her cheeks are streaked with tears.

Guard Captain

background

A middle-aged man with a sturdy, battle-hardened build, standing at average height with broad shoulders. His face is weathered, with a prominent nose and a thick, well-groomed beard streaked with gray. His piercing eyes scan the crowd with vigilance, and his posture exudes authority.

Young Scholar

background

A slender young man in his early twenties with a pale complexion and short, dark brown hair. His face is clean-shaven, and his deep-set brown eyes reflect a mix of intellectual curiosity and distress. His hands are ink-stained from frequent writing, and he carries himself with the posture of someone accustomed to long hours of study.

Dialog

Jan Hus Brothers and sisters, do not weep for me. Today, I stand before you not as a heretic, but as a witness to the truth. The fire that consumes my body cannot burn the truth of God's word.

Bishop Silence, heretic! Your words are as ashes before the might of Holy Mother Church. By the authority vested in me by the Council of Constance, you are condemned to perish in flames, that your errors may perish with you.

Jan Hus You condemn me, yet it is you who stand condemned before God. In His mercy, He will judge us all. I pray for your souls, even as you light the pyre beneath my feet.

Bishop Enough! Let the execution proceed. May your death serve as a warning to all who would defy the Church's sacred doctrines.

Jan Hus Lord Jesus, into Thy hands I commend my spirit. Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Bishop Let it be done.

Jan Hus The truth will prevail!
