De toutes les tragédies de Corneille, Rodogune est l'une des plus sombres, celle où les tensions atteignent une violence d'autant plus saisissante qu'elles se font jour à travers une intrigue lourde de toutes les complications, lesquelles se dénouent dans un final que Stendhal comparait à ceux des drames shakespeariens. Tragédie dynastique du pouvoir, la pièce est aussi une tragédie familiale de l'amour et de la haine. Des êtres se déchirent ; une coupe empoisonnée, comme chez Hitchcock, attend les héros. Le personnage de Cléopâtre fait briller un héroïsme du mal qui éclaire l'univers cornélien d'une étonnante lumière noire. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Tragedy by Pierre Corneille, first performed 1645, and remarkable for its powerful, if melodramatic, portrait of moral evil. The central character, Cle?opa?tre, queen of Syria, will sacrifice anything to retain power. Only she can decide between the rival claims of her twin sons, Antiochus and Se?leucus, to inherit the throne; she promises her voice to whichever of the two will rid her of Rodogune, princess of Parthia, whose hand is destined to the new king. Both princes love Rodogune, but she confronts them with a terrible dilemma by promising love to whichever kills his mother. In desperation Cle?opa?tre kills Se?leucus, the weaker of the twins, and prepares a poisoned cup for the wedding of Antiochus and Rodogune, but is forced into drinking it herself, and dies defiant. -- Answer.com.
