Phaedra by: Racine

This is a classic play from the Baroque era, based in ancient greek times but mordernized with the french lifestyle. This play was made for Louis XIV and was played at the castle of Versailles. This is the ultimate drama of love, lust, and incest, every part of the play brings more irony. This was what I had to read for class, so this wouldn't be something I regularly read.


Recommendation: 3/10
