Andromaque

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Andromache several times, in different contexts. He presents her as Hector's widow, the captive with whom Pyrrhus falls in love. He recalls this situation in a session on neo-fascism, the ideology of desire and Clouscard's thought1, and later in a session on Proust2. He also takes her as an example of character and links her to fidelity3. In 2021, in a session on Nerval and Baudelaire, he finds her again in "Le Cygne", where she appears among the great exiles4. He dwells on the moment when she describes Troy in ashes and the carnage of the night of the sack5. The passages do not develop a sustained interpretation of the character. Andromache serves mainly as a reference figure: the beloved captive, the faithful wife and the exile who carries the memory of the destroyed city.
