Abstract [fr]

Ce mémoire a pour but d’explorer la question sur l’écart entre les sexes dans l’expression de la passion dans la tragédie de Jean Racine. Qu’est-ce que les différences éventuelles entre les personnages féminins et masculins quant à l’expression de la passion nous disent sur le théâtre de Racine ? Les divergences entre les réactions féminines et masculines seront analysées et comparées pour comprendre le genre dans le théâtre de Racine.Quatre différentes pièces du répertoire de l’auteur seront analysées pour déterminer si le genre du personnage influence l’expression de la passion. L’analyse du comportement des protagonistes permettra également de comprendre comment chaque sexe exprimeet traite la passion. Les pièces sur lesquelles se concentre ce projet sont Andromaque, Bérénice, Phèdre et Athalie. L’étude révèlera les différences entres les personnages féminins et masculins quant à l’expression de la passion et révéleront également si les femmes maîtrisent moins leurs émotions que les hommes. Puis, nous verrons ce que ces différences disent sur l’esthétique et les conventions de la tragédie de Racine. Les résultats seront confrontés à quelques critiques contemporaines. 

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the issue of gender difference in the expression of passion in the tragedy of Jean Racine. What do the possible differences between female and male characters in the expression of passion tell us about Racine’s theatre? The distinctions between female and male reactions will be analysed and compared to understand the genre in Racine’s theatre. Four different pieces from the author’s repertoire will be analysed to determine if the character’s gender influences the expression of passion. Analysis of the behaviour of the protagonists will also help us understand how each sex expresses and treats passion. The pieces on which this project focuses are Andromachus, Berenice, Phaedra, and Athalie. The study will reveal the differences between female and male characters in the expression of passion and reveal whether women have less control over their emotions than men. Then we will see what these differences say about the aesthetics and conventions of Racine’s tragedy. The results will be confronted with some contemporary criticism.
