ROBERTO ZUCCO DE BARNARD-MARIE KOLTÈS – LE PORTRAIT MYTHOLOGIQUE D’UN CRIMINEL EN SÉRIE
ROBERTO ZUCCO BY BARNARD-MARIE KOLTÈS – MYTHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the mythological analysis of the play Roberto Zucco (1988) by twentieth-century French playwright Bernard-Marie Koltès. This text tells the story of a serial criminal, a mythological “monster” (DRANENKO, 2011, p. 146) who, through his actions, destroys all mythological canons. We use the Eco-Ricœur (hermeneutic) research method (on the four levels of reading: the literal sense, the tropological reading / the allegorical / symbolic / metaphorical sense, the typological sense and the anagogical or ontological sense) and attempt to answer the question is Roberto Zucco a mythological figure with literary value or a simple figure inspired by reality?
