The first masterpiece of Racine opposes that four people, including women, Andromache, Hermione, dominate. Orestes loves Hermione who loves Pyrrhus who loves Andromache, who loves only her dead husband and young son. So much violence and so counting these are the causes of the success of the first great tragedy of Racine. Madness takes Hermione and Orestes, and the piece ends with the victory of purity. 1999
