Dramas (2 de 2): Lucrecia Borgia; María Tudor; La Esmeralda; Ruy Blas by Hugo
"Dramas (2 de 2): Lucrecia Borgia; María Tudor; La Esmeralda; Ruy Blas" by Hugo is a collection of dramatic works written in the late 19th century. The collection includes plays that explore complex historical figures, particularly focusing on Lucrecia Borgia, a woman entwined in themes of power, morality, and familial conflict. It delves into the ironic juxtaposition of her reputation as a notorious figure against her longing for love and acceptance. The
opening of "Lucrecia Borgia" sets a tone steeped in intrigue, as it introduces the titular character in a shadowy Venice during Carnival. The scene unfolds on the terrace of the Palazzo Barbarigo, where masked nobles converse about the infamous actions of the Borgia family, revealing a blend of gossip and historical drama. Lucrecia is depicted as a haunted figure, striving for redemption amidst her family's dark legacy. The dialogue hints at her relationships with various characters, including Genaro, a nobleman with a hidden past, whose connection with Lucrecia suggests a compelling personal conflict as she grapples with societal perception and her own desires.
