Modern Greek Theatre, Dramaturgy, Murder, SuicideAbstract
The conscious taking of a human life has been and remains an extremely popular theme in global dramaturgy. In particular, during the period of pre-war Modern Greek theatre, specific socio-political as well as aesthetic conditions influenced both the motives of murderers and suicides in the plays of the time, and the issues that playwrights aimed to highlight by presenting such acts and such characters through their works. Focusing on gender relations, this study examines and analyzes the way the murderer and the suicidal person are portrayed in Modern Greek dramaturgy from 1900 to 1940.
