Bérénice is a tragic play written by Jean Racine, published in 1670. The play focuses on the love triangle between the Roman Emperor Titus, the Queen of Palestine Bérénice, and Prince Antiochus. The plot explores the internal conflicts of the characters, caught between love and duty, and the consequences of their decisions in a context of power and politics.
Jean-Baptiste Racine was a French dramatist, one of the three great playwrights of 17th-century France, along with Molière and Corneille, as well as an important literary figure in the Western tradition and world literature. Racine was primarily a tragedian, producing such "examples of neoclassical perfection" as Phèdre, Andromaque, and Athalie. He did write one comedy, Les Plaideurs, and a muted tragedy, Esther, for the young.
