The image of queen Margot in A. Dumas’ novel and French movies
This article examines the image of Marguerite de Valois, Queen of Navarre, in the novel “Queen Margot” of A. Dumas and its French film adaptations by J. Dreville and P. Chereau. In all three works, the personality and character of the main character are shown against the background of the religious wars, one of the most tragic pages in the history of France. Mainly preserving the plot of the novel, the directors, each following their own creative plan, are often inaccurate about historical facts, create absolutely different images of the most extraordinary woman in that historical period.
