EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a dramatic moment from Jean Racine's classic French play, "La Thébaide" or "The Brothers Enemas," specifically from Act IV, Scene 1, where Jocasta, the queen of Thebes, passionately rails against the gods for their seemingly endless cycle of suffering and vengeance. The play, first performed in 1664, is based on the legend of Oedipus and his tragic family saga. Racine, a renowned French playwright of the 17th century, is known for his powerful and emotional dramas that explore the depths of human passions and the complexities of the human condition. In "La Thébaide," he masterfully weaves together themes of fate, love, and revenge, as the characters grapple with the consequences of their actions and the seemingly capricious whims of the gods. In this image, Jocasta, portrayed with a regal and determined expression, stands before an altar, her arms outstretched in supplication as she pleads with the gods to put an end to the endless suffering of her people. The somber setting, with its dimly lit room and ornate decor, adds to the sense of despair and urgency, while the dramatic lighting highlights the intensity of Jocasta's emotions. This print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theatre and the enduring power of Racine's masterful storytelling. The image serves as a reminder of the timeless nature of human emotions and the complexities of the human condition, as well as the enduring power of theatre to explore and express these themes in a way that resonates with audiences across generations.
