Research Abstract |
Stupid characters in 19th-century French literature can be divided into two types : those whose blind obedience to socially accepted ideas has eroded their faculty for sane thought, and those who are often considered eccentric due to their inability or unwillingness to obey social rules. In general, 19th-century French literature satirizes the former, and depicts the latter as representing or bringing to light a universal truth. However, some impressive characters are able to strangely combine the two types.
