Description
Abstract
Résumé: La Curée, roman à titre et à écriture
métaphoriques est le récit d’un dépeçage et
peint l’époque de folie et de honte qu’est le
Second Empire. Si l’ensemble du roman trace
le portrait de la société parisienne, c’est le
personnage principal et le plus emblématique,
Renée Saccard, qui illustre le mieux, en raison
d’une analogie entre son avenir et celui du
Second Empire, cette période de l’histoire
de France. Renée reflète plus que tout autre
personnage les excès de la société et porte sur
ses épaules le symbolisme du roman. En effet
c’est le symbole de la société peinte par Zola:
un empire de luxe, de vie à outrance. Produit,
incarnation et victime de ce régime, elle se
détraque un peu plus chaque jour comme Paris.
Vouée à une fatale dégénérescence, son sort se
développera à travers deux faits étroitement
unis: sa chosification, et sa descente dans la
dépravation, qui la portent vers la déchéance.
L’avilissement que Renée incarne n’est pas
seulement un indicateur de laxisme moral dans
les relations personnelles, mais il véhicule aussi
la décadence et l’écroulement de la société.
Abstract: La Curée, novel whose title and writing have a metaphorical meaning, is the account of a quartering after a hunt, and depicts the time of madness and shame that is the Second Empire. If the whole novel draws a portrait of Parisian society, it is the main and most emblematic character, Renée Saccard, the one who better illustrates this period of French history, due to the parallelism between the fate of Renée and that of the Second Empire. Renée reflects more than any other character the excesses of society, and carries the symbolism of the novel. Indeed, she is the symbol of the society painted by Zola: an empire of luxury, of life to the utmost. Product, incarnation and victim of this regime, which breaks a little more every day, like Paris. Heading for a fatal degeneration, we will see how her destiny evolves through two issues directly related to each other: the objectification of Renée, and her progressive descent into depravity. The debasement embodied by Renée is not only indicative of moral laxity in personal relationships, but it also conveys the decay and collapse of society.
