Mit der "Phädra" Racines hat die Tragödie des französischen Barockklassiszismus unbestritten ihren Höhepunkt erreicht. Farbiger und subtiler als die Dramen Corneilles, die ganz vom Ehrbegriff und vom Staatsgefühl des Grand Siècle getragen sind, wird die Tragödie bei Racine zum Tableau menschlicher Leidenschaft, in dem selbst das Pathologische nicht ausgespart ist. Die Liebe als alles beherrschende Macht ist Racines ureigenstes Thema, und es deutet auf jansenistische Vorstellungen hin...

Athaliah marks the stunning conclusion of Racines illustrious dramatic career. Originally crafted for a semi-private performance by the young ladies of the College of Saint Cyr, this powerful play first graced the stage in 1691, later captivating audiences at Versailles. Despite a lengthy delay in public performances until 1716—likely due to its sacred themes and initial lack of appreciation—today it is celebrated as one of Racines greatest masterpieces, rivaling Phèdre for the top spot. The plot faithfully adheres to the scriptural narrative, while Racines imaginative additions, ...

Set against the backdrop of the Trojan Wars aftermath, this poignant tragedy, first performed in 1667, weaves a more complex narrative than is typical of Racines works. It explores an array of rich characters and motives, delving into themes of love, jealousy, friendship, loyalty, maternal devotion, anger, and despair with remarkable finesse. While the dialogue reflects the refined language of the 17th-century French Court, the universal emotions of the human heart shine through the veil of conventionality, making the play relatable across the ages.

Story0
Le XVIIème siècle se partage entre baroque et classicisme. La poésie baroque (Théophile de Viau, Tristan Lhermite) affirme quelques principes communs: goût de la sensualité, des extrêmes, de l'ornementation, du language à effets, avec une prédilection de la forme sur le fond; on privilégie les sentiments sur la raison. L'avènement du pouvoir royal absolu avec ses poètes de cour entraîne un rejet des excès du baroque et, avec Malherbe, une stricte codification de la versification.

L'impuissance de l'amour à obtenir l'amour, thème essentiel de Racine dès sa première grande œuvre : Pyrrhus aime Andromaque, et n'en est pas aimé, Hermione aime Pyrrhus, et n'en est pas aimée, Oreste aime Hermione et n'en ai pas aimé. Seule, Andromaque a aimé qui l'aimait - et le souvenir de ce bonheur est suffisant pour la faire renoncer désormais à tout autre possible, pour lui faire envisager parfois d'y sacrifier son fils, pour la décider à mourir. Pyrrhus, Hermione, Oreste, si différents l'un de l'autre, sont exactement les mêmes par humiliante torture : ils ne peuvent pas obtenir un regard de l'être aimé.

Le XVIIe siècle est un siècle majeur pour la langue et la littérature française. Poésie et théâtre se développent avec force, le classicisme s'impose avec un nombre de chefs d'œuvre rarement atteint tandis que le roman naît et s'épanouit parallèlement aux productions des moralistes et des fabulistes : rarement époque aura produit autant de grands écrivains, dont la marque est indélébile dans l'ensemble de la culture.

Seule comédie au milieu de la série des onze tragédies raciniennes, cette œuvre a toujours été considérée comme une pièce à part, une réussite isolée difficile à classer. Certains manuels d'histoire littéraire n'en font même pas mention : comment l'insérer dans un chapitre bien ordonné sur la "vocation tragique de Racine" ? Comme chez Aristophane qui l'inspira, caractères et faits sont poussés au-delà du vraisemblable.
