Abstract

The action of BÃ©rÃ©nice depends on the notion that for a Roman to marry a foreigner, especially a queen, is contrary to both Roman law and deep-rooted attitudes. In his controversial interpretation of the play in Sur Racine, Roland Barthes makes light of this obstacle. The chapter discusses his interpretation along with the treatment of the obstacle in question not only in Pierre Corneilleâs Tite et BÃ©rÃ©nice but in various earlier plays by Corneille where the theme of marriage between a Roman and a foreign woman is crucial. It argues that Barthes might have developed a stronger and more credible interpretation of Racineâs play along lines mapped out in his readings of other plays by Racine; and that Racineâs treatment of the obstacle as immovable is illuminated by being compared with Corneilleâs imagining how it might be circumvented.
