List
of Characters in L’Invasion (The Invasion) (1950) by Arthur Adamov
Pierre
– The central figure of the play, increasingly consumed by the fear of an
undefined “invasion.” His perceptions drive the tension of the drama.
Agnès
– Pierre’s wife, who tries to maintain normalcy but gradually becomes strained
by his growing anxiety and instability.
Lucien
– A friend or acquaintance who enters the domestic space and engages in
conversations that deepen confusion rather than resolve it.
The
Neighbour(s) – Figures from outside the immediate household who contribute to
the atmosphere of unease through fragmented interaction.
Other
Unspecified Visitors / Voices – Occasional presences who appear or are referred
to, adding to the sense of intrusion, ambiguity, and instability within the
play.
Note:
In keeping with the play’s style, some characters may feel less like fully
defined individuals and more like shifting presences that reinforce the themes
of uncertainty and psychological tension.
