	Jean Racine
		Racine, to quote his own words, always chose "a simple action, not overladen, which, progressing steadily to the catastrophe, is sustained by the interest, the feelings, and the passions of the characters." Again, while in Corneille the characters are secondary to the action, in Racine the action is suited to the characters.
		Racine is the great painter of love, but love as he conceives it is always violent, impetuous, jealous, and sometimes criminal.
		Racine was a sensitive, vain, and irritable man, with deeply religious feelings, and a keen, supple, and strong intellect.
