2017

This paper examines two models of women's instruction and behavior depicted in Choderlos de Laclos’ famous epistolary novel. Cecile de Volanges is a young and naive virgin who tries to respect all the precepts of a wellborn girls conventional education. On the other hand, Marquise de Merteuil, officially a worldly lady of irreproachable reputation and secretly a dissolute libertine, has broken all the rules, and, in the conscious process of self-education, has provided herself with significant psychological knowledge that let her dominate and manipulate others.
