Man and Society in the Works of the Marquis de SadeDreossi, Norma M. 04 1900 (has links)
<p>Much has been written on the Marquis de Sade's pessimistic and nihilistic philosophy. His criminal man and his social ethic, based on an absolute egotism, have been accepted as embodiments of the Sadian vision of the ideal toward which humanity must struggle to achieve liberty. It is the contention of this thesis that the Sadian arch-fiends illustrate the failure of this struggle. The thesis attempts to examine the other side of Sade's thought, -- an aspect which has been largely ignored -- in order to show that Sade was primarily seeking the realization of a positive ideal in both his vision of man and society, and also in his definition of liberty. What becomes evident from this analysis is that Sade was very much a part of his age in terms of the problems which concerned him, and in terms of the solutions which he evolved in answer to these problems.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)

Love in the Works of Claire MartinAbrioux, Lewese Ann 05 1900 (has links)
<p>It is my intention within this thesis to analyse the conception of love which Claire Martin presents in her works. This conception of love, based on the author's own childhood experiences, has as its central idea the emancipation of women. Claire Martin delves directly into the minds of her characters, revealing to the reader their innermost thoughts. The universe which she creates, however, is a particularly negative one, viewed almost exclusively from the perspective of a past love which has been eroded by time. Her novels propose no revolutionary outlook or ethic of love - their value lies in the analytical study which they offer into the very minds of characters influenced by the force of love. It is the aim of my thesis, therefore, to reveal rather than to explain this picture of love.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)
