Summary

The last tragedy of Crow is one of most beautiful, so much the action mixes with it with the elegy, and poetry. One wants to make marry in Suréna Mandane, which he does not like, and not Eurydice, that he likes; one wants to make marry in Eurydice Pacorus, which she does not like, and not Suréna, that she likes. Mandane is the girl of the king of Parthes, that its lieutenant, Suréna, restored on the throne. It is thus a drama of the ingratitude of the capacity, impossible love, and death. Between the policy, represented by a king carried by the totalitarian logic of the system of which it is the product and the guarantor, and the freedom of the person whose hero is the defender, the combat is pitiless and without exit. The final size of the part is that, as at Claudel, the overcome lovers triumph, and that their torturers are forgotten.
