Abstract

This article investigates how Racine’s Andromaque reflects the dominant conception of love in the 1660s, opposing prideful self-love and pure love of God. While love in Andromaque is traditionally seen as libido dominandi, Nicole’s theorisation of self-love as the desire to be loved is, I argue, more accurate in this tragedy of unreciprocated love. This desire, embodied by the three main characters, explains not only their blinding frustration in the face of impossible control, but also their fragility and utter humanity. When eventually passion seems to conquer pride, ‘l’amour racinien’ even gravitates towards a form of pure love.
