| description | This paper proposes a reading of Phèdre, a tragic masterpiece by Jean Racine, focusing on three scenes portraying Phèdre’s confessions, the overflow of her emotions, and the revelation of her secret, which destroys her. These speeches characterize her love for Hippolyte. The tragedy develops from these revelations, once the poet organizes it in a triple sequence: Phèdre confesses to OEnone, to Hippolyte, and to Thésée. The protagonist is seized by the destiny, traced by mythical entities. The social and cultural context and the values of that time appear and exert some influence on the development of the theme – aspect that relates to the mythology characters referred to in the text. The author reproduces the myth of Phaedra and Hippolytus, playing with the Classic and the Modern. This study is based on Aristotle, Barthes, Fontes, Hubert, among others, whose reflections make it possible to contemplate Racine’s options. |

Esta é uma leitura de Fedra, obra trágica de Jean Racine, na qual damos enfoque de maneira mais acentuada às cenas em que encontramos as três confissões de Fedra, o transbordar de suas emoções e a revelação do segredo que a aniquila. Estas falas caracterizam as confissões do seu amor por Hipólito. A tragédia desenvolve-se a partir dessas revelações, sendo que o poeta, de maneira genial, organiza e cria em uma tripla sequência: Fedra confessa a Enone, a Hipólito e a Teseu. A protagonista é presa do destino, traçado pelas entidades mitológicas. O contexto sociocultural e os valores da época aparecem e caracterizam alguma influência no desenvolvimento do tema, ligados a personagens da mitologia referidas no texto. O autor reproduz o mito de Hipólito e Fedra, jogando com o clássico e o moderno. Fundamentamos nossas poderações em estudiosos como Aristóteles, Barthes, Fontes, Hubert, entre outros, cujas considerações nos favorecem para uma leitura que contempla as opções de Racine. 2020-09-16 2022-03-18T18:38:24Z 2022-03-18T18:38:24Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/lettres/article/view/12524 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63710 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/lettres/article/view/12524/9649 Copyright (c) 2020 Lettres Françaises application/pdf Lettres Françaises Lettres Françaises; n.21 (1), 2020 2526-2955 1414-025X |
