"Phaidra: 5-näytöksinen runomittainen murhenäytelmä" by Jean Racine is a five-act tragic play likely written in the late 17th century. This drama explores themes of forbidden love, desire, and the consequences of human emotions through the lens of Greek mythology. The main characters include Phaidra, the wife of Theseus, who struggles with her forbidden love for her stepson, Hippolytos, amidst a backdrop of familial conflict and betrayal. The beginning of the play introduces key characters and sets the stage for the ensuing tragedy. Hippolytos expresses his confusion and restlessness over his hidden feelings, while Theramenes, his confidant, warns him of the dangers surrounding Phaidra’s affections. Phaidra enters in a state of distress, revealing her emotional turmoil and inner struggles. As Oinone, Phaidra's nurse, attempts to counsel her, it becomes clear that the characters are entangled in a web of passion, jealousy, and impending doom, foreshadowing the tragic events that will unfold throughout the play.
