Summary "Le supplice de Phèdre : roman" by Henri Deberly is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to explore themes of family dynamics, personal struggles, and societal expectations through the lens of its main character, Hélène Soré, as she navigates the complexities of motherhood, marriage, and her intellectual ambitions. The opening of the novel introduces us to Hélène, who is seen interacting with her stepson Marc and daughter Marie-Thérèse on a beach, as they enjoy a day by the water. The setting is peaceful, but beneath the surface, hints of tension emerge in Hélène's observations about Marc's obedience and her expectations of her children. As the narrative unfolds, we learn about her authoritative but loving nature, her reflections on parenting amidst her own desires for freedom and intellectual growth, and the shadows of her previous experiences as a young widow. The complex relationship between Hélène and her family is revealed as they grapple with themes of discipline, freedom, and the expectations tied to their societal roles.
