Book excerpt: Excerpt from Britannicus Result, on the one hand, was an estrangement with Moliere and, on the other, a separation from his old friends of Port Royal, who were utterly opposed, through their religious convictions, to the theater and those who wrote for it. His former instructors, who had toiled so faithfully to de velop his genius, could not hide their grief at his apostasy. Personal remonstrances, which wounded the young drama tist's sensitive spirit, were not lacking. Finally, some writings of Nicole were taken by him as a public attack on himself, and in answer to these he directed a sarcastic and unjust letter against the port-royalists, which made the alienation complete.
