Heated and silent adoration in the novel of " Desert of Love" by Francois Mauriac: Passions dévorantes et cachées dans Le Désert de lʼAmour de François Mauriac
...Show More Authors

  François Mauriac’s novel The Desert of Love (1949) puts the reader before an experienced sociologist who is skillfully able to analyze the most mysterious human emotions and feelings.  The writer's starting point is that people are similar in feelings but different in behavior. He severely criticized the aristocratic class and uncovered its defects and faults.

         The novelist presents Courege's family as an example of the aristocratic class. It is a family torn by hatred, selfishness and disagreements due to absence of intimacy and love. This poisoned environment pushes the father and his son, Raymond, to search away for emotional ventures and banned relations to satiate their emotional thirst.

         Unfortunately, they fall in deep love with the same woman unintentionally. She does not satisfy their burning passion as she leaves them with much thirst for love. They become like getting out of frying pan into the fire.

          Finally, Mauriac figures out the reasons of all problems in the absence of love and passion which represent the key for welfare and happiness. The writer reveals his stylistic skill and unparalleled literary ability in describing the whole atmosphere which leaves the reader amused and captivated in passion battle , a battle with no winner.

The paper is divided into two basic topics:
1-Dryness of family relations 
2-Emotional ventures and illegal relations
The research paper depends on objective analytic approach via topic unity analysis .

Résumé

        Le Désert de L’Amour  met le lecteur en face d’un sociologue chevronné du début du XX ème siècle, un sociologue apte à analyser expertement les sensations et les émotions humaines les plus subtiles et les plus fugitives .

         François Mauriac part d’un principe psychologique de base dans ses études, c’est que les gens convergent dans les pensées et les sentiments, mais ils divergent dans leurs manières d’agir .

        Son domaine favorable était la société et surtout la classe bourgeoise qu’il fouettait sans merci pour la mettre à nu avec tous ses torts et ses travers.

        Mauriac choisit la famille Courrèges comme échantillon de cette classe sociale. Il s’agit d’une famille déchiquetée par l’égoïsme, la haine et les malentendus permanents. Ce climat toxique et malsain pousse obligatoirement le père Courrèges et son fils Raymond à échapper à la famille pour chercher des aventures amoureuses et des  relations extra conjugales afin d’assouvir leur soif d’amour.

        Par malheur, ils tombent amoureux de la même femme sans le savoir et sans jamais l’avouer. Malgré leur passion dévorante pour cette femme charmante, et à l’encontre de toute attente, elle n’a fait qu’élargir leur désert et augmenter son aridité; les deux amants sont restés sur leur soif pareils à celui qui , pour échapper à la chaleur, se protège par le feu.

       Tout compte fait, François Mauriac met le doigt sur la véritable plaie de tous ces problèmes en l’absence de l’amour. L’amour seul est la clé et le remède efficace qui peut transformer les déserts en jardins verdoyants.

         Dans son roman, l’auteur fait preuve d’ingéniosité dans le style,  et de capacité littéraire inouïe qui berce le lecteur et le laisse emporter par son imagination dans une bataille amoureuse sans vainqueur .

Cette recherche est  divisée en deux thèmes principaux :
1-Sécheresse des relations familiales .
2-Aventures amoureuses et relations extraconjugales .
Dans cette étude, nous avons recours à la méthode thématique, explicative et analytique .

The Victorian Society’s Fear of the New Woman in Bram
...Show More Authors

Nineteenth century Gothic literature was deeply concerned with the threats against masculinity. Perhaps one of the most important changes that happened at that time was the emergence of the New Woman model which posed a great threat against masculinity and the male role in the Victorian society. Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) portrays female characters who embody this transition in female roles from the domestic wife to the New Woman. This paper focuses on the female characters Mina Murray and Lucy Westenra, their roles in their society, and the different fates they face at the end of the novel, with special focus on Mina’s transformation to the model of the New Woman.

Ellen Olenska’s Character in Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence
...Show More Authors

Old New York was Wharton's term to describe this wealthy and elite class at the top of
the developing city's social hierarchy, a society which was utterly intent on maintaining its
own rigid stability. Even though, the roles of women in American society changed drastically
from 1820’s to 1860’s due to the civil war and such a progression was due in part to the
revolutionary thoughts. Women started taking their right to speak up openly and frankly and
become more like men. The role of many women had changed from being homemaker to
being able to provide for the family by either getting a job or start to be allowed to have a
voice. They had important roles not only in helping the family, but in sharing to rebuild th
