| Sumario: | What does justice look like? This is a peculiar question, but one tragedy invites us to ask with its spectacular dramatization of suffering and revenge. Euripides' Hecuba offers two competing visions of justice -the legal justice of balanced retribution and the tragic justice of pitiable spectacle- and sets them in opposition such that the two cannot be reconciled or synthesized. In this opposition, each mode of justice exposes the limitations and failings of the other. Legal justice is implicated in a politics that the play imagines as corrupt and self-serving. Tragic justice, on the other hand, is shown to be ineffectual at best and sadistic at worst, a pleasure in beautiful suffering that becomes hard to distinguish from our own pleasure, as a theatrical audience, in the suffering enacted on stage. My reading of the play thus shows not only that justice has an aesthetics in tragedy, but that tragedy's own aesthetics are inseparably bound up with its imagination of justice. |
