1895 Père Le Paria Strindberg Sweden Fadern Father Pariah Drama Tragedy Theatre
Père Le Paria By August Strindberg. (Fadern, eng. The Father – Paria, eng. Pariah) – In French language.
***
Two selected plays written by one of the most influential play writers in history of modern drama, August Strindberg. Book is translated to French by Georges Loiseau. First play, The Father, is a Naturalistic tragedy, written in 1887. This play expresses a recurrent theme in Strindberg: the state’s marriage laws are often unjust, in particular when the law gives the husband rights while depriving the wife and mother. The play shows a determined individual finding her way to oppose injustice, and the play also demonstrates how factors can lead one to become fiercely determined. At the time the play was written, Strindberg’s marriage was deteriorating with his wife Siri von Essen, and situations in the play could have very loosely resembled situations occurring in his failing marriage. Different religions, Methodist, Baptist, and an occult spiritualism, exist in the household and vie for Bertha’s acceptance. There are also references in the play to Greek Mythology and Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice and Hamlet. Second play involves a battle of brains between two men, “Mr. X and Mr. Y’’ in a Darwinian struggle for survival.
