Description
Little is known about La Bruyère, except the dazzling success of Les Caractères, his life's work. With a radically new way of writing, the moralist paints a picture of the behavior and psychology of his contemporaries. The bourgeois as the courtier, in the city as in the court, all the characters are represented as on a theater stage: human life, devoid of depth and interiority, becomes a pure spectacle, a social comedy where individuals are reduced to simple machines. But behind the comic dimension pierces a real concern: witness of the decadence of the mores of his time, La Bruyère regrets that the man has moved away from his authentic spiritual and moral foundation. In search of true merit, he opposes to the world delivered to unreason the figure of the wise, who looks at reality with a just look. Seeing and thinking well, regardless of the fashion or authority of those who make opinion: this is the lesson of this dazzling exercise in style that is The Characters. Folder: 1. The moralist: models and posterity 2. From type to character: character and portrait 3. The theatre of the world: views on social comedy 4. Court: from self-fulfillment to imposture.
