| Abstract: | The objective of this paper is to illustrate the parable of the ring narrated in Act III of the play, 'Nathan the Wise' by Lessing as a valid metaphor to comprehend the spirit of this national capital. The play is developed around this parable "much in the manner of weaving and sewing a coat to suit an intricate, shiny button which he had found by chance". |
