Madame Aubin Produced by Dagny and Frank J. Morlock "Madame Aubin" by Paul Verlaine is a one-act play written in the late 19th century, showcasing the complexities of love, fidelity, and societal expectations. The narrative revolves around a married woman, Madame Marie Aubin, who grapples with her feelings for another man, Peltier, while caught in a web of romantic tension and moral conflict regarding her husband, Aubin. The play captures the emotional turmoil and societal pressures of its time, reflecting the constraints placed upon women and their roles in relationships. In this dramatic interplay, Marie is torn between her love for Peltier and her loyalty to her husband, Aubin. Initially swept away by Peltier's charm, she experiences a crisis of conscience, prompting her to reconsider their clandestine escape. As tensions rise, Aubin unexpectedly confronts Peltier, leading to a duel that serves as a climax of their conflict. Ultimately, after Aubin is wounded, he forgives both Marie and Peltier, revealing the societal duplicity surrounding love and honor. The play ends with a sense of resolution, as Aubin reassures Marie of their future together, highlighting themes of redemption and the frailty of human desires.
