“Phaedra” Philosophers, “False Senses”

Abstract

In this article is payed special attention to the analysis of the expression of emotions of the heroes in the tragedy "Phaedra" by J. Rasin. At the same time, emphasis is placed on illuminating the figurative charm of their emotions. The development of Russian literature and theater in the late 1920s diverted public attention from Racine's legacy. The influence of French romantic tendencies on Russia reflects the attitude of contemporary writers and critics towards the playwright of the 17th century.
