L'article 47 by Adolphe Belot. First performed in Paris at the Ambigu-Comique on October 20, 1874, this French dramatic work centers on Georges Du Hamel, a young man whose ardent jealousy and impulsive passion for his mistress, Cora, drive him to violence and an ensuing court case. The action sweeps from Rouen courtrooms to Parisian society, featuring witnesses, legal maneuvers, and the formidable maternal figure of Madame Du Hamel, as well as the scheming Mazilier and the elegant mistress of Cora. At the heart is the interplay of love, loyalty, and the penal code's Article 47, which governs the surveillance of released convicts. The narrative culminates in a courtroom verdict, renewed confessions, and a possible healing forgiveness between Georges and the woman he loves, under the heavy weight of public judgment. A melodrama that blends courtroom drama with intimate psychology, it probes how passion withstands the gaze of society.
