L'aveuglement d'un Misanthrope : amour de l'autre ou amour de soi?

Khachehtoori, Caroline 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis explores the subject of love and self-love in the Misanthrope of Moliere. The central issue is whether or not the main character, Alceste, is blinded by his own self-love. If so, does this blindness lead him to madness? My analysis shows that true love is not present in this play - and the reason for that is l'amour de I'autre. That is, both Alceste and Celimene are much too self-absorbed and preoccupied with self-love to be able to honour and cherish each other. In Alceste's case, the issue of blindness and illusion are also crucial elements that influence his ability to love. In the first chapter, I shall introduce these two elements and show how I'amour-propre causes Alceste to lose sight of reality. Then, in the second chapter, different aspects of love shall be examined, allowing me to illustrate how I'amour de I'autre is not achieved. Finally, the third chapter introduces the idea of self-love and l'amour-propre, distinguishes the two and shows how they lead the two characters of the Misanthrope to reject love. The theme of Amour-propre, as well as love mistreated or misunderstood, as subjects of literary works, are widespread during the seventeenth century. The play on illusion and reality, reason and madness, as well as the element of change and instability, as they appear in the Misanthrope, are familiar ground in Baroque theatre. Indeed, as Jean-Marie Apostolides notes in an article, the theatre is a space where new thoughts and ideologies are presented, where people, places and time are transformed and tested. This is undeniably what Moliere proposes to do in the Misanthrope and this project illustrates how this great playwright achieves that goal. In this thesis, I demonstrate how he brilliantly illustrates the social and philosophical influence of his time on individuals and its consequences. How does one react to such external forces? In Alceste's and Celimene's case, they each move in completely opposite directions in reaction to these external powers. The result of this, as well as of their forced union is what gives this play its strengths. For Moliere is able to show us the humour in such a marriage between a misanthrope and a coquette. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate

La situation du personnage de Tartuffe au temps de Molière : interférences, rencontres, affinités

Wong, Shirley Tang January 1985 (has links)
Contrary to popular belief, three hundred years of Molière studies has not exhausted the possibilities of further research in this field. Of the many Molière plays read and studied, Le Tartuffe is certainly among those that give rise to the most number of questions and the greatest amount of research. While many of the contemporary critics have devoted lengthy and detailed studies to the various aspects of Tartuffe's origins, his development throughout the play and even his influences on later seventeenth century fiction, few have chosen to discuss the importance of all three. Hence, our desire to present a more condensed but better organized version of the facts and speculations surrounding the circumstances of the play Le Tartuffe and more specifically those of the germination and evolution of its main character. Chapter one deals with a general study of the Italian theatrical tradition and discusses the many traces of Italian influences which are present in Molière's hypocrite. Our goal in this first chapter is not to stress Molière's dependence on his Italian colleagues but to illustrate the process of give and take and the rich exchange of ideas which all contribute to the makings of Tartuffe's mysterious but dynamic personality. The second chapter distances itself from the world of fiction to take a closer look at Molière's personal circumstances at the time of Tartuffe's conception and to examine briefly each of the live personnages who may or may not have served as a model for the playwright's fictitious character. Once again, we do not seek to implicate Molière as a man of vengence who was unable to separate his work from his personal prejudices but rather to underline the fact that Molière's creation relied equally on his imagination as well as his encounters in the world of reality. In our third and final chapter we return once again to the world of fiction and make-believe. Chapter three is divided into two parts: the first part deals with a study of other comedies by Molière and the numerous correlations that exist between Tartuffe and the main characters of these other plays. Part two discusses the works of two major writers of Moliere's time; La Rochefoucauld and La Bruyère and the extent to which Molière's Tartuffe influenced the 'raaximes' and the 'caractères'. Although our study of Molière's Tartuffe does not solve all the mysteries surrounding this dynamic character, it does give a better insight of his affinities and his influences within the seventeenth century world of fact and fiction. In our conclusion, we stress and draw upon two main points. In examining the character of the hypocrite, it is important to recognize that he is indeed a rich combination of external sources and influences right from the legacy of the Italians to the various courtisans and nobles of Molière's own time. On the other hand, it is equally vital to keep in mind Tartuffe's own flavor of authenticity for although many of his superficial traits are derived from external sources, there are elements in this fictitious character that render him unique. Secondly, we must consider the author himself and his role in the development of Tartuffe's personality. Time and again it has been suggested that Moliere's characters were in fact no more than 'porte-paroles' of his personal philosophy or worse, tools of vengence against his own real life enemies. We have always adhered to the theory that these suggestions were purely speculative and our research of Tartuffe's origins, affinities and influences have shown us that far from being a tool of vengence, the hypocrite is the reflection of one man's energy, perception and devotion to his work. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate
