HERODE : "Salomé, Salomé, dansez pour moi. Je vous supplie de danser pour moi. Ce soir je suis triste. Oui, je suis très triste ce soir. Quand je suis entré ici, j'ai glissé dans le sang, ce qui est d'un mauvais présage, et j'ai entendu, je suis sûr que j'ai entendu un battement d'ailes dans l'air, un battement d'ailes gigantesques. Je ne sais pas ce que cela veut dire... Je suis triste ce soir. Ainsi dansez pour moi. Dansez pour moi, Salomé, je vous supplie. Si vous dansez pour moi, vous pourrez me demander tout ce que vous voudrez et je vous le donnerai. Oui, dansez pour moi, Salomé, je vous donnerai tout ce que vous me demanderez, fût-ce la moitié de mon royaume." SALOME, se levant : "Vous me donnerez tout ce que je vous demanderai, tétrarque ?"

Bare Bones Edition Review of the HarperPerennial Classics Kindle eBook (November 25, 2014) of the English language translation (1894) of the French language original (1893).
Ah! I have kissed thy mouth, Jokanaan. I have kissed thy mouth. There was a bitter taste on thy lips. Was it the taste of blood…? But perchance it is the taste of love…They say that love hath a bitter taste…But what of that?
I read Oscar Wilde's Salome as background for my current reading of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's upcoming The Seventh Veil of Salome (currently available as a NetGalley ARC, expected publication July 16, 2024). Although published under the HarperPerennial Classics imprint there was no introductory essay or background to provide any historical context which you would normally expect in a "classics" edition. A reader interested in those things will have to do a considerable amount of research.
The history of the play can be read on Wikipedia. The (mostly) mythical history of Salome can also be read on Wikipedia. The main points of interest about the play were that it was originally written in French, and even after translation it could not be performed in England (supposedly because of a ban on portraying Biblical characters on stage) due to the public censors. Although the English translation was published in 1894, the translation had to wait until 1931 to be performed.
The other curious thing is the use of the name Jokanaan for John the Baptist. Introducing the letter "k" into the name is odd, as the Biblical version (Biblical Greek: Ἰωάννης / Iōánnēs) doesn't have anything like it. Presumably it comes from the occasional Hebrew spelling as "Jochanan" with the "ch" pronounced as a "k"?
The Salome portrayed in Wilde's play is an exaggerated fictional figure used to convey various degrees of lust and depravity. Character motivation is slim. Salome lusts for John the Baptist and when he rebuffs her, she takes her revenge by demanding his beheading so that she can finally kiss his lips. Her stepfather, the Tetrarch Herod Antipas, horrified at the blood-drenched spectacle, orders his soldiers to kill her to end the play. The real life Salome went on to marry 3 times, finally becoming the Queen of Armenia.

Oscar Wilde's Salome has been the inspiration and source of the plot / libretto / screenplay for various ballets, operas and films which are too many to list here. See a list at the Wikipedia for Salome (Play): Themes and Derivatives. ( )
Curious, more than anything else, what Wilde's play would be like. Thankfully it was a quick read. I can see why Wilde received a lot of notoriety about the play, but I don't understand why anyone would consider this good literature. Certain characters keep repeating the same lines, as if they can't remember what they were really supposed to say and there's no one to prompt them with the "real" line. The illustrations done for this work are truly bizarre, and did not add anything to the experience. ( )
Maybe I'm missing the connections, but I found that Beardsley's drawings didn't correspond at all to WIlde's text... It's not really surprising though, because Beardsley was famous for doing his own thing even when he was given a text to illustrate. None the less, I was very impressed by both the play and he illustrations on their own. Beardsley's linework and characterization were intriguing and beautiful, even if we have no actual idea of who they correspond to in the play. As for Wilde's text, he carefully blended literary and biblical themes with those of common humanity (ti doesn't get much more real than the revenge of a woman scorned from love), and I found myself very attracted to Salomé's wild and determined feamel archetype. ( )
Nada que ver con las otras obras de Oscar Wilde. Parece que los personajes no hacen mas que enfocarse en un tema y hablar de el hasta agotarlo, moverse al siguiente tema, y asi hasta el final. Quiza no lo he entendido pero no he sacado demasiado de esta lectura. ( )

Scene. A great terrace in the Palace of Herod, set above the banqueting-hall. Some soldiers are leaning over the balcony. To the right there is a gigantic staircase, to the left, at the back, an old cistern surrounded by a wall of green broze. The moon is shining very brightly.
