Summary: "L'Aiglon" by Edmond Rostand is a play in six acts, written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the Duke of Reichstadt, son of Napoleon Bonaparte, and explores themes of identity, legacy, and the struggle for personal fulfillment against historical expectations. The central character grapples with his royal lineage while yearning for freedom and the chance to carve his own path. The opening of "L'Aiglon" introduces the Duke of Reichstadt, who is conversing with various characters, including his mother, Maria Louisa, and others at their villa in Baden, near Vienna, during the year 1830. The setting is lively, filled with social exchanges, music, and the complexities of court life. The Duke, while being surrounded by the trappings of royalty, expresses a desire to escape the shadow of his father and the constraints placed upon him. As the characters engage in both lighthearted banter and weighty discussions about loyalty and identity, it becomes clear that the Duke's journey will be one of both internal and external conflict as he navigates the expectations that accompany his heritage.
