La jeune fille Violaine is a tour de force as this play represents the search for a new sort of love, a search opposing two different logics : on one hand, that of the peasant world with its sense of property, mariage and work ; on the other hand, that of Pierre de Craon and Violaine, whose kiss gives impetus to his creativity of the new love and to the construction of the Church. This play also presents an amazing inverse prefiguration of what will hapen in Claudel’s life, staged in Partage de midi.
