Fedra

by: Jean Racine (author)

3.00 5

"Fedra" to tragedia oparta na mitologicznym wątku miłości żony Tezeusza do pasierba, Hipolita. Racine zaczerpnął temat z antycznego dramatu Eurypidesa, pogłębił jednak i wysubtelnił psychologiczny wizerunek swojej bohaterki. Odnajdziemy więc w Racinowskiej tragedii niezapomniany portret kobiety opętanej grzeszna miłością. Fedra, świadoma ogromu swej winy, dręczona wyrzutami sumienia, nie może wyrwać się z zaklętego kręgu namiętności, bowiem Bóg odmówił jej łaski - jedynej mocy, która, wg autora tragedii, wiernego wyznawcy jansenizmu, może pomóc człowiekowi w walce z przeciwnościami losu.

text [REVIEW] Phaedra by Jean Racine

I am surprised at how easy this was to read. After reading little bits on my commute, I sat down and finished it in a day. Shame colors Phaedra’s life and blinds her completely to any solution other than death. She is not a reasonable person at any point until the very end when she has seen the cons...

text A pretty brutal love triangle

This is apparently Racine's last play before he gave up the theatre scene to return to a religious life within the Jansenist sect. For those who don't know what a Jansenist is (and that would probably include most of us) then picture a god who is mean, nasty, and smacks you over the head with a base...

Greek families! Histrionics, rash reaction instead of considered response, inability to control emotion. Tragedy.I don't know much about this play: what was Racine's source? It feels very Classical Greek and very Ted Hughes and not really French at all in this version. The language is not as extreme...

text Phèdra

Racine amps up the pathos from Euripides’ version of the play. Phedra transforms from Grecian homewrecker to a French victim of amour. Her forbidden love is the product of a cruel Venus. The responsibility for Hippolytus’ death shifts to her over protective nurse, Oenone. Phedra suffers as a pow...

text Phedre

When is one guilty of something, when one commits the reprehensible deed, and only one knows it, or when it is made known to others?Phèdre thinks that the latter case is a great deal worse, worse even than death:je meurs pour ne point faire un aveu si funesteje n’en mourrai plus, j’en mourrai plus c...
