Summary: "Ruy Blas: Drame" by Victor Hugo is a play written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around complex themes of love, ambition, and social status, focusing on the protagonist Ruy Blas, a lowly servant who finds himself embroiled in court intrigues due to his passionate love for the queen of Spain. As a representative of the common people, Ruy Blas faces societal constraints, revealing the disparities between social classes and the corruption within the Spanish nobility. The opening of the play introduces the audience to the character of Don Salluste, a disgraced nobleman plotting his revenge against the queen who has exiled him. He enlists the help of Ruy Blas, who, though a servant, is depicted as a man of depth and passion, caught between his low status and his feelings for the queen. Throughout the beginning, there is a vivid juxtaposition between the lavish world of the nobility and the everyday struggles of the common people, setting the stage for themes of political and personal conflict that will unfold in the narrative. We also get glimpses of Ruy Blas's inner turmoil, as he reflects on his social position and the love that torments him, drawing the audience into the drama of human emotions against the backdrop of societal strife.
