The politics of Esther

Racine's tragedy Esther is often presented as a religious poem extolling piety and innocence. This article argues that this reading is complicated by the political dimension of the work. This dimension is reflected in the context in which Esther was first performed, as well as in allusions to the prevailing socio-political situation and to the drama that is played out within the work. Despite the author's stated intention to compose a work of piety, his indebtedness to the two biblical versions of the Esther story and to other books of the Old Testament, the plot is based on a story of hatred, persecution, plotting, revenge, and extermination that exists in uncomfortable counterpoint to the hymns to God's goodness and providence chanted by a Chorus of innocent young maidens. The article concludes by suggesting that Esther does not offer any easy reading as a victory of right over might, and good over evil

Erased identities: Marita Conlon’s The Magdalen (1999)

Following postmodernist and trauma studies discourses our aim here is to analyse Marita Colon’s novel in which she gives voice to a fictional character, Esther, as representative of those Irish women who were sent to a Magdalene Asylum after being displaced and rejected by their own society on the grounds of a doubted moral behaviour. Like Esther, thousands of women underwent physical and psychological abuses under the custody of members of the Church, a traumatic experience to which they responded in a repressed way keeping silence and even abandoning their home country. Consequently, as a result of the repression and violence they were subjected to, their identity became erased being psychologically wounded for their whole lives finding difficulties to adapt to normal life after their liberation even rejecting the male figure who may try to impose power over them.Universidad de Málaga.
