Abstract

This article introduces the unpublished play by Mariia Evgen’evna Levberg Danton (1919). Despite the title, its protagonist is not Danton, but a fictional female character, that is projected on Judith from the Old Testament. It is important that here we see a failed Judith who wishes to murder a tyrant, but doesn’t actually manage to. The answer to the question, why the author has chosen this particular image of Judith seems to lie in the moral dilemmas and deep contradictions that, according to Levberg, inform any revolution.
