“The Murderess” (1903) occupies, by general consensus, a special place in Papadiamantis's (1851-1911) work. Special in both senses of the word: distinctive and prominent.
If “The Murderess” did not exist, this body of work would remain incomplete, at least with regard to the problem of evil, a problem that dominates the Papadiamantic corpus. The Papadiamantic evil is, as a rule, the daily, the current evil, often stiflingly miserable; it is the evil of the everyday normal person.
The evil in Papadiamantis's work is not crime; it is not the extreme transgression that threatens the very existence of the community; it is not exceptional; it is commonplace. An exception is “The Murderess,” and not at all negligible, as it is a top text not only of its author but also of the entire Neo-Hellenic prose.
Without “The Murderess,” Papadiamantis's work would be entirely different. The evil committed by the old woman Hadoula is not the everyday evil, the usual, the social, but the great evil, the radical, the unforgivable.
But who is this Fragkoyiannou, what kind of person is this woman who commits such an extreme crime? And what is it that leads her to dare to do so?
