lukewarm,
By "lilliepad6" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Berenice (Paperback)
I read this play for an introductory French literature class at Swarthmore. I read it in French, so doubtless I missed a lot, but I found it to be dull and redundant. Before we began "Bérénice," the professor actually told us, "Dans cette pièce, rien ne se passe, et personne ne meurt"--nothing happens, and no one dies. She was right. Essentially, Titus and Antiochus love Bérénice, Queen of France, and it plays out through dialogue. I actually think we read the play primarily because it was so repetitive; it meant we would understand more. I'm sure Racine has better things to offer than "Bérénice"; that's why it's not one of his best-known works. Read something else.
