Jean Racine
Phedre
In this play, a
confidant (male) or a
confidante (female)
is used to be present when the hero or heroine needs a sympathetic listener
to confide in. Frequently, as Henry James puts it, this friend or
relative of the protagonist can be as much "the reader's friend as the
protagonist's." Write an essay in which you discuss the various ways
this character functions in the work. |
