| Summary | "Philoctète : Le traité du Narcisse. La tentation amoureuse. El Hadj" by André Gide is a multi-part work that appears to be a blend of philosophical treatise and dramatic narrative, written in the late 19th century. The book primarily revolves around themes of morality and human desire, exploring complex emotional and ethical dilemmas through the lens of its characters, particularly focusing on Philoctète and his interactions with Ulysse and Néoptolème. The opening of the work introduces us to a cold, desolate island where the characters Ulysse and Néoptolème are preparing to confront Philoctète, a warrior abandoned by his comrades due to a grievous wound. As they discuss their mission—to retrieve Philoctète's powerful bow for the sake of their homeland—the tension rises around themes of betrayal, duty, and the essence of virtue. Néoptolème grapples with the moral implications of their plan, expressing reluctance to deceive a man in distress, while Ulysse counters that the greater good of their homeland justifies the deception. The stage is thus set for a deeper exploration of ethical conduct and the complexity of human relationships as the characters navigate their desires and obligations.
