Kurzfassung:
Discusses literary criticism of Racine's tragic play "Esther". Underlines that this work was written in accord with Jewish tradition, and discovers in it philosemitic accents. States that critics did not note the real theme of the play - antisemitism. "Esther" may be the only French literary work which depicts a true antisemite (Haman) who intended to murder all the Jews.
