"The Fourteenth of July and Danton: Two Plays of the French Revolution" by Romain Rolland is a collection of historical plays written during the early 20th century. The work dramatizes significant events from the French Revolution, focusing on the interplay between individual heroes and the collective will of the people. The plays emphasize themes of liberty, social justice, and the moral truths behind revolutionary movements. The opening of "The Fourteenth of July" introduces the tense atmosphere in Paris leading up to the storming of the Bastille on July 14th, 1789. It captures the excitement and anxiety among various social classes as they react to the perceived threats from the monarchy. The dialogue features characters such as Camille Desmoulins and members of the crowd who discuss strategies and fears while urging each other to unite against the oppressive forces. The scene is laden with rich dialogue that reveals the characters' passions and the weight of societal expectations, setting the stage for the ensuing revolution. The focus on the "People" as a collective character emphasizes Rolland's aim to portray the revolution as a movement driven by the masses rather than just a few historical figures.
