| Summary | "Paternité" by Max Du Veuzit is a one-act play written in the early 20th century. The work examines the themes of familial relationships and parental responsibilities, particularly focusing on the bond between a father and his daughter. Through the characters’ interactions, the play explores the emotional struggles that arise from societal and legal definitions of parenthood. In the play, Lucienne Villers, a 16-year-old girl, finds herself caught in a conflict between her biological father, Maurice Villers, and her stepfather, Paul Romagny, who has raised her since childhood after her mother’s divorce. Following her mother’s death, Maurice reclaims his paternal rights, seeking to bring Lucienne into his life despite having been absent for many years. Lucienne is torn, feeling an emotional bond with Romagny, whom she regards as her true father. The narrative delves into the powerful themes of love, loss, and the complexities of familial ties, culminating in an emotional decision where Lucienne must choose between the two men, highlighting that love and connection may sometimes transcend legal and biological definitions.
