Summary "L'Aiglon: Drame en six actes, en vers" by Edmond Rostand is a drama written in the late 19th century. The play delves into the life and struggles of the young Duke of Reichstadt, the son of Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie-Louise, as he navigates a world filled with political intrigue and personal identity challenges. Set against a backdrop of historical references, it explores themes of legacy, ambition, and the burdens of lineage. The opening of the drama introduces us to the setting in Baden, near Vienna, in the year 1830, where Marie-Louise, the Duke's mother, resides. Elegant ladies are engaged in music, and an atmosphere of anticipation surrounds the arrival of distinguished guests. The young Thérèse and her brother Tiburce arrive, reflecting on their connections to the imperial family and expressing admiration for the Duchess. As characters discuss the Duke's health and his artistic pursuits, we see glimpses of the Duke's life, revealing the complexity of his existence as the heir of a waning empire, including his mother’s concern for his future and the burgeoning expectations placed upon him. The act sets the stage for a conflict of identity and the lingering shadow of Napoleon's legacy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
