Pour sauver le Pape, retenu captif par Napol on, elle doit accepter de sacrifier son honneur et ses sentiments personnels en pousant Turelure, un ancien serviteur devenu un puissant opportuniste du nouveau r gime. travers ce sacrifice h ro que, Claudel interroge la nature de la foi, le sens du renoncement et la fin d'un monde traditionnel face l' mergence d'une nouvelle re sociale.

Port par une langue po tique puissante et une ferveur mystique caract ristique de l'auteur, "L'otage" demeure l'une des pi ces les plus intenses du r pertoire th tral fran ais du XXe si cle. Ce drame explore avec une profondeur m taphysique les th mes du salut, de l'expiation et du conflit entre le temporel et l' ternel.
