Le dévoilement du sens à travers les avatars différents de la féminité chez Marguerite Duras

subject

description

Madness is an inherent quality of female protagonists in the prose of Marguerite Duras. It manifests itself through melancholy, sadness, loneliness, misunderstanding or absence arising from abandonment. The behaviour of female characters, marked by distress or “the disease of death”, is irrational, nonsensical and difficult to understand. Their attitude defies logic and attempts to capture this specificity of writing focused on the emotive sphere, on what is inexpressible. This article discusses the perception of femininity and its various incarnations, manifesting themselves through specific language, sexuality and obsessions inscribed in the nature of the weaker sex. The destruction of personality and losing oneself in the Other paradoxically lead often to finding the meaning of life.
