| Summary |
"Le Fils de Coralie: Comédie en quatre actes en prose" by Albert Delpit is a dramatic comedy written in the late 19th century. The play revolves around themes of love, societal expectations, and family secrets as the lives of its characters become intertwined. The main character, Daniel, is the son of Coralie, who is a woman with a mysterious and possibly scandalous past that threatens to complicate his budding romance with Édith. The opening of the play introduces a cast of characters in the domestic setting of Godefroy's home, where conversations reveal the dynamics of familial relationships and societal pressures. Daniel longs to marry Édith, but her father Godefroy is fixated on traditional values and the potential scandal surrounding Daniel’s unclear lineage. Various characters express their opinions on romance, love, and the impact of past decisions on the present. Tension builds as Coralie’s past looms over Daniel's future, setting the stage for the unfolding drama as secrets and revelations threaten to disrupt their lives.
