Phaedra: A 5-Act Poem in Verse by Jean Racine is a classic tragedy by the French playwright, known for its deep psychological insight and skillful writing. In this work, Racine embodied the ancient Greek myth about Phaedra, the wife of the Athenian king Theseus, who falls in love with her beautiful solitaire stepson Hippolytus. This forbidden love leads to complex moral dilemmas and a tragic ending.
Racine reveals the deep psychological conflicts of the characters, as well as the tragic consequences of their actions. It explores themes of love, pride, jealousy and suffering, adding tension and drama to every scene. Each act of this drama is a new in-depth stage of the development of events, which carries the heroes to the final catastrophic denouement.
"Phaedra" is a masterpiece of world drama, which remains relevant and insightful even in the modern world. This is a work that forces the reader to ask himself difficult life questions and reflections on the nature of love, pride and own actions."
