Abstract

Článok sa prináša interpretáciu Enquistovej drámy Pre Faidru z politických a sociálnych aspektov. Porovnáva predošlé drámy založené na mýte o Faidre a Hippolytovi napísané Euripidom, Senecom, Racinom, Zolom a Kanovou. V článku sa poukazuje na to, že strata sociálnych a vnútorných hodnôt zapríčiňuje pocit zbytočnosti, ktorý vedie k vzbure. Pre lepšie pochopenie pochopenie hlavnej tézy článku autor odkazuje na psychoanalytickú interpretáciu, na ktorú odkazuje Enquist v poznámkach k hre. Autor sa zameriava na vývoj a spoločenské zmeny, obzvlášť kumuláciu kapitálu, ktorá vedie k odcudzeniu človeka. To umožňuje kritickú aplikáciu mýtu na našu spoločnosť a jej problémy. V dráme sa odráža Enquistov postoj sociálneho demokrata. Postavy sa vzájomne zrkadlia až na jednu výnimku. Postava Tezea reprezentuje muža a politika, ktorý zneužíva svoju moc. Mení históriu podľa seba a považuje svoju manželku a zvyšok rodiny za svoj majetok, a nie za ľudské bytosti. Faidra sa snaží zviesť svojho nevlastného syna Hippolyta, aby sa Tezeovi pomstila. Keď Hippolytos umrie, spácha samovraždu. Vtedy sa objaví postava čističa, ktorého nasleduje Theramenes a Arícia, aby zmenili nespravodlivý politický systém zdola.

Abstract (in English)

This article brings an interpretation of Enquist's drama For Phaedra from a political and social point of view. It compares it to the previous dramas based on the myth of Phaedra and Hippolytus written by Euripides, Seneca, Racine, Zola and Kane. It argues that having lost social and internal values, characters of the drama feel useless, which leads to a revolt against the system. For a better understanding of the main thesis of the article the author relies on psychoanalytical explanations which Enquist used in his commets and remarks on the drama. The author focuses on the evolution and changes in society, especially increasing material wealth that leads to the alienation of man, which allowed a critical application of the myth onto our society and its problems. The drama displays Enquist's social democratic political attitudes. The character are mirrored in each other with the only expectation: the character of Theseus represents a man and politician in one person who has abused his power. He changes history to what he wants it to be, and he considers his wife and the rest of the family as his property, not as human beings. Phaedra tries to seduce her son-in-law Hippolytus to revenge for Theseus's behaviour. When Hippolytus dies and she commits suicide, the character of a cleaner appears. Theramens and Aricia follow him to change the unjust political system.
