Abstract(s)
La guerre de l’Indépendance de la Grèce a eu lieu au XIXème siècle. Dans ce contexte
exalté, les personnes peuvent éprouver de graves conflits identitaires et doivent sou vent faire des choix douloureux, notamment d’un point de vue personnel. Comme cer taines Grecques réelles nommées et décrites dans le roman Archipel en feu, Andronika,
la protagoniste créée par Jules Verne représente cet esprit déchiré et meurtri par ce
moment dysphorique de l’histoire dix-neuvièmiste.
Andronika est une veuve âgée dont le seul fils, devenu un pirate, a trahi sa patrie.
Outragée en tant que mère et en tant que femme, elle décide de rompre avec sa pas sive vie de femme au foyer. Après avoir brûlé sa maison pour qu’elle n’abrite jamais
le traître, elle s’enrôle dans l’armée grecque afin de lutter activement contre l’ennemi
ottoman, notamment contre son fils.
Son identité grecque et sa nature maternelle resteront tout de même inébranlables lors
du roman de Jules Verne. Nous allons voir que seule la mort sera capable de résoudre
ce conflit entre ces étranges ennemis que la guerre a apparemment séparés. Malgré
le moment tragique de la fin du roman, le texte récupère, nous semble-t-il, une note
utopique. Entre mère et fils, l’amour semble une force majeure.
The Greek war of independence occurred in the 19th century. In such a heated situa tion, people may experience serious identity conflicts and often have to make painful choices, especially from a personal point of view. Like any other real Greek woman mentioned and described in Archipel en feu, Andronika, the protagonist created by Jules Verne, also embodies that spirit marked by this dysphoric moment of nine teenth-century history. Andronika is an elderly widow whose only son, who has become a pirate, has betrayed his homeland. Outraged as a mother and as a woman, she decides to break with her passive life as a housewife. After burning down her house so that she would never shelter the traitor, she joins the Greek army in order to actively fight against the Ottoman enemy, especially against her son. Her identity, as a Greek and as a woman, remains unaltered in Jules Verne’s novel. We will see that only death will be able to resolve the conflict of identities between these strange enemies that the war has apparently separated. Despite the tragic moment at the end of the novel, the text seems to recover, it seems to us, a utopian note. Between mother and son, love seems a major force.
