"Polyuct" is a tragedy by the French playwright Pierre Cornell, which was first performed in 1643 in Paris. This drama tells the story of a Roman soldier named Polyuctus who becomes a Christian, breaking the laws and the faith of his wife Paulina and the emperor. This is a strong and very emotional play, where the motifs of faith, love, sacrifice and devotion are interwoven. Thanks to the masterful play of the Roman military and Christian believers, the author shows the high pathos of a person before choosing between his own beliefs and the laws of civilization. Poliukt's decision and his fate leave a mark in the hearts of viewers for a long time, raising questions about the strength of faith and principles in a world ruled by power and ruthlessness.
