The first act of the play Danton's Death, the two rivals Danton and Robespierre, and their differing views before the Revolution. While Danton, who is represented as a nouveau riche man about town, calling for the end of the Terror and a liberal state. However, it is clear that these demands are unrealistic. In one scene, a man complains that his daughter be a prostitute because he is so poor. Here a contrast is clearly significantly between the extravagant life of pleasure and Dantonists poverty and hunger of the people. Robespierre, by the people, the leg Mimic "the virtuous" Has he even virtuous lives and in contrast to Danton him the condition of the people is clear. For him, the only way the poverty of the people is to fight the establishment of a virtuous government and elected more. From the beginning, a conflict between the Dantonists and Robespierreisten seems inevitable. Already in the first act, it linked Robespierre at the National Convention to achieve even a worsening of the Terror. Thus Robespierre is already in the first act as winner of the power struggle. The Dantonists now fear for their safety, after which Danton can be persuaded to meet with Robespierre. After this conversation, which ends with no result, decides Robespierre Danton's Death, he believes make further sacrifices for the revolution to have.
