 In 1784 Schiller published his theoretical work "The Theatre considered as a Moral Institution", whose central idea was to present tragedy as a means of theodicy, with theatre's mission being to show the restoration of divine justice onstage.This righteousness is visible in "Intrigue and Love", since ultimately, its final court of appeal is not secular justice but God himself.Schiller saw education as another function of theatre, to bring the audience to catharsis to complete their education and so make the theatre a "moral institution".
