| Summary | "La Samaritaine, évangile en trois tableaux, en vers" by Edmond Rostand is a verse play written in the late 19th century. This dramatic work reinterprets the biblical story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman, exploring themes of redemption, faith, and the transformative power of love. The main character is Photine, a Samaritan woman who encounters Jesus at Jacob's Well and undergoes a profound transformation. The opening of the play sets the scene at Jacob's Well in the ancient region of Samaria, illustrating a mystical atmosphere filled with shadows and biblical patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—who seem to anticipate the arrival of a significant figure. As dawn breaks, the three patriarchs engage in a dialogue about destiny and the coming of an angelic figure. Soon after, a group of Samaritans arrives at the well to express their grievances against Roman rule and their alienation from Jerusalem, hinting at societal tensions. The first act introduces Photine, who eventually arrives and sparks a significant encounter with Jesus, foreshadowing her transformative journey from a life of shame to one of acceptance and faith. This initial setup establishes a compelling blend of historical and spiritual elements, drawing readers into a narrative that promises exploration of deep emotional and philosophical themes.
