Book excerpt: Victor Hugo's romantic melodrama Ruy Blas was first performed in 1838 for the opening of the Theatre de la Renaissance. There was a revival at the Odeon with Sarah Bernhardt in 1872, and at the Theatre-Francais in 1879. Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was a novelist, poet, and dramatist, and the most important of French Romantic writers. In his preface to his historical play Cromwell (1827) Hugo wrote that romanticism is the liberalism of literature. Hugo developed his own version of the historical novel, combining concrete, historical details with vivid, melodramatic, even feverish imagination. Among his best-known works are The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Misirables. Victor Hugo was one of the greatest personalities of French literature. Though not without the faults and eccentricities which frequently characterize great geniuses, he never entered any field of literature without excelling in it. The novel, the lyric, the drama, criticism, all fell from his facile pen without apparent effort.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Character of Victor Hugo's Ruy Blas The character of Ruy Blas is one difficult of interpretation.' To many critics the brilliant, ambitious lackey-minister seems as puzzling as the young, dreamy Danish prince was to the court at Elsinore. Doumie says he is entirely too silly. Brunetiere considers his conduct at times as improbable and inexplicable. Marzials goes so far as to express disbelief in him altogether. A careful analysis of the character of Ruy Blas, the details of which are given in the subsequent paragraphs of this paper, re veals the fact that he is withal a hero par excellence of the roman tic ideals in literature. Before proceeding to this analysis, it is only fair to the auth or to allow him to state his own purpose in creating such a char acter. In his preface to Ruy Blas, Hugo declares that the hero represents the struggling and aspiring people who have the future but not the present. The people for whom Ruy Blas, stands are orphans, poor, intelligent, and strong; placed very low, and aspiring very high; having upon their backs the marks of servitude and in their hearts the premeditations of genius. Ruy Blas is, therefore, to be considered as the symbol of a rising people struggling towards the light, and the type of an ambi tious, longing, dreamy parvenu. Hugo's method of portraying a dramatic character is to select a central idea, a logical formula, or a social antithesis, and then make his character conform to this. The wicked Lucrezia Bor gia has a true mother's heart. Into the deformed, scheming Triboulet he puts the affection of a father. The thoughts and actions of the bandit Hernani are worthy of a king.

Book excerpt: Ruy Blas has held the stage better than any other of his dramas and has been popular in America. Here Hugo's dramatic theory of contrast of grave and gay, rapid alternation of tragic and grotesque, is pushed to its utmost verge. The scene is Madrid; the time 1699. Don Salluste de Bazan, scorned by Maria de Neubourg, second wife of the do-nothing King, Charles II, plots revenge. Failing to enlist the aid of his scapegrace but chivalrous cousin, Don César, he introduces his valet, Ruy Blas, to the queen and through her sympathetic interest gains official preferment which he uses for political and fiscal reform. The queen and Ruy Blas are betrayed into a compromising situation by Don Salluste, who, when Don César threatens to balk his revenge, ruthlessly sacrifices his cousin to his injured vanity. Ruy Blas kills Don Salluste and then himself, consoled that his death has extorted from the queen an admission that love has overcome all prejudice of rank or station.
