Iseut

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani discusses Iseult in sessions spread out over time. In 2015, he places her in the love triangle that, in his view, exogamous monogamy inaugurates1. In 2017, he presents her as a princess of Ireland and sister-in-law of the Morholt2, then compares her to Ariadne in a correction about the half-brother relationship3. The 2024 sessions on evil develop the character further. Close to the Morholt, she ought to avenge him, but she meets Tristan's eyes, and this is mad love4. He recalls that she wants a double suicide, that her servant switches the flasks, and that she ends up alone among the corpses5. Finally, he contrasts her with Antigone: Iseult does not relate to the dead as Sophocles' heroine does; she wants the lovers' bodily embrace6.
