SKETCH OF CHARACTERS.
The poetry Of Grecian Mythology had fallen Tor
once into coreenial hands. While the music OF Ra-
ciDes euphonious fascinates the ear and capt.
Yates the Imagination, the elegance of bis thought de
lights the fancy and TIE gorgeous classic illusions
constantly appeal to the mind. The Greek drama
tists made Hippoytus their hero and put Ph@dra in
the back ground. But Racine, without stripping
Hppobtus of any of bis heroic qualities, gives Ph@dra
the rank ofheroine. The Joseph-like Hippoytus OF
Eurpides may have interested Athens, but in Paris
bit of scandal is ever required, even in hero and
with charming alacTity our poet improvises Ancia,
and the Happy creation not alone furnishes
Hippolytus with very acceptable sweetheart,
but supplies Racine with additional passion
with which 10 sunound Phadra. Already we see her
torn W h hopeless love and tantalized by fierce
r,morse, but jealousy is thus added, and Racine 10
making this addition, showed his knowledge of the
sut fence for whom he wrote. The fashionable women
of Louis XlVths Court like those Of many another of
a later day. feasted on these glowing deifeations OF
oisofdeled passions which see IN Ph@d'e. la'e,t
adultery, jealousy, trischery, suicide murder, "ers
