Description
Summary:The concise and elliptic aspect of the dramatic texts is an obstacle for understanding, through the simple reading, the complexity of the situation, the reactions of the characters and the philosophical background. Therefore, one must imagine precisely – while reading exactly as readers used to do in the Antiquity – the way the sequence could be staged. It is possible, then, to show the perfect coherence of the link between two scenes of Agamemnon (II, 1-2), famous for being supposedly “unconnected”. The actor’s gestures, for example, deduced from some cues in the text, concise but explicit, enlighten the logic of the confrontation between the characters and the link with Seneca’s stoïcism.
