Compared to the classical tradition of Racine or Corneille, this work seems at frst sight to conform to the traditional rules of drama, and more particularly of boulevard theatre. However, from the frst plays that are part of the Theater of Love (in this case: Françoise’ Luck, A Loving Wife) we are forced to note that the playwright moves away somewhat from the canonical form, choosing certain formal solutions which announce the new dramatic paradigm (“drama-of-life”). The undermining manifests itself above all through the intrusion of epic elements, the shaking of the fable and a new approach to the characters. Rereading the dramas of Porto-Riche allows us to show how the author attacks the Aristotelian “beautiful animal” and how he replaces the traditional hero with a passive and refective character, processes that anticipate the advent of modern and contemporary drama.
