The story revolves around the lives of actors and actresses in the theatrical world, particularly focusing on the character Félicie Nanteuil, an actress grappling with her relationships and ambitions within a bustling theatrical environment. The narrative explores themes of love, jealousy, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of the performing arts. The opening of the novel introduces us to the dressing room of the Odéon theatre, establishing a lively atmosphere filled with dialogue between Félicie, her dresser Madame Michon, and Dr. Trublet, the theatre’s physician. Félicie is depicted preparing for her role, distracted by her physical appearance and her interactions with others as they share light banter, personal secrets, and reflections on life. The reader is given insight into her character as she navigates the challenges of being an ingénue in the theatre while wrestling with her emotions involving relationships with men, including the jealousy and competition she faces. The dynamic interactions among the actors and their discussions reveal the intricacies of their lives both on and off the stage, setting the tone for the conflicts and character developments that will unfold throughout the novel.
