520 _a"Six One-Act Plays" by Margaret Scott Oliver is a collection of theatrical works written in the early 20th century. The plays present a variety of narratives, including themes of love, conflict, and social issues, depicting the complex lives of characters navigating their circumstances. The first play, "The Hand of the Prophet," introduces Kodama, a merchant, and his bride Halima during a wedding celebration, where jealousy and desire unfold in their relationships. At the start of the collection, the opening play sets the scene at a wedding festivity filled with music and dance. Kodama, despite his affection for Halima, becomes increasingly irked by the presence of his cousin, Sindibad, who is enamored with Halima. Tension arises as Sindibad expresses his desire for Halima, leading to a tragic confrontation. As the story progresses, the themes of marital discord and the consequences of unchecked passion are explored, culminating in a dramatic climax that deeply affects all characters involved, hinting at broader social critiques within the ensuing plays.
