Abstract

Theatre plays as Amor nello specchio, written by Giovan Battista Andreini in 1622, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Narcisse (1752), thematize the condition of a spectator submitted to the established morality or inserted in a determinate political structure. Thus, here the myth of Narcissus and the theme of mirroring do not restrict themselves to the realm of individualized psyche.
