Maeterlinck’s Poetic Symbolism in Trei piese triste (Three Sad Plays)

Summary/Abstract: This article proposes an analysis of a staging from Maeterlinck (Trei piese triste/ Three Sad Plays) based on some poems of the author (from Fifteen Songs – Three Little Maids They Did to Death, Maidens with Bounden Eyes, There Were Three Sisters Fain to Die). Drawing on theatre studies and biographical criticism, poetics (of water and dreams)and theories of the soul, our aim is to account for the main themes of the symbolist current as envisaged by the Belgian author.
