Andromakha : tragedīi͡a : sochinenie v stikhakh v pi͡ati di͡eĭstvīi͡akh / g. Rossina. Volume no. 1-3 1794 (Leather Bound)

I'm curious about the creative choices behind retelling the tale of Andromache—did Racine aim to highlight certain themes or emotions more than others?

The way characters are torn between personal desire and honor really made me think about how much of our lives are driven by obligation versus passion.

The rhythm and rhyme in Racine's verses seem designed to evoke specific feelings—I'm wondering if the form itself influences how readers experience the tragedy.
