| Summary |
"Félix Poutré: Drame historique en quatre actes" by Louis Honoré Fréchette is a historical drama written in the late 19th century. The play revolves around the character of Félix Poutré, a passionate and brave young man involved in the struggle for Canadian independence during a time of conflict with British authorities. The opening of this drama introduces a secret gathering of patriots in Montreal, where a planned insurrection against the British government is afoot. As Camel, a treacherous character posing as an ally, conspires with policemen to betray the patriots, the atmosphere is tense with plots and counter-plots. Fellow conspirators, including Cardinal and Duquette, express their hopes and anxieties about mobilizing forces against the English. Félix Poutré is soon introduced as a determined young leader eager to fight for his country, showcasing his commitment and fiery spirit amid a backdrop of intrigue and impending danger. This gripping beginning sets the stage for a tale of bravery, betrayal, and resilience in the face of oppression. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
