Dumas speculative of a life

Alexander Dumas (1802-1870), French writer was a prolific author that was specialist of historical romance, but he written also some theatrical comedy, as Kaen. This character was real actor, and his name was Edmond Kaen, born in London at 1787 and died in Richmond at 1833, he was a squanderer his richness, because he gained very much for his theatrical works, and he squandered as much. In this comedy of Dumas moderates role of Kaen, this is he moderates squander and other excesses of this actor, died very poor, naturally, for his vices. During read of this comedy alone sometime is manifest impetuosity of character of Kaen, sometime his egocentrism and formal politeness, in conformity with British costume, also during Kaen shows his love for Helen, a woman that Principe of Wales loves, he is always formally respectful but very determined, in conformity of character of actors; therefore Dumas tells about a theatrical life and a society, he documents the life of a man that we can consider, in conformity with Hegelian concept, universal spirit of human gender; therefore he is speculative, with Latin exception this is observer a life, that may he can’t see never, but he imagined, and after he translated to this comedy.
