Love Of Devil
(jacques cazotte)
Part one
Cazotte was written The Devil in love in 1750. It was an astonish appearance and one a big innovation in full 18th century, when he explained first of all like a phenomenon of confrontation and association of philosophy and religion. We can see also there a symptom of the mysticism even of the illumines. Also let us specify that after the drafting of the Devil in love Cazotte was truly initiated with mysticism and he was even radically changed it. That intervenes after the publication of the book: the mystics believed that they had has to make with a man particularly initiated with mysticism so much the Devil was close to their precepts. The great period of fantastic is at 19th and that we have to study the characteristic of this period to explain the fantastic one can seem arbitrary. However, it is relevant to study work instigator of fantastic to establish from it the characteristic principal and to determine the conditions of its appearance and thus to explain the importance of fantastic with 19th.
The Devil in love takes again literary topics suitable to arouse the interest of the readers: love, devil, magic.
One thus discovers here the exploitation of the collective beliefs goshawks of the devil, the fates, the spirits and mysticism. Cazotte uses the substrate of crowned transposed in literary reasons; the religious prototypes slipped of the faith towards the tradition. But their exploitation is profane and phantasmagoric. One finds the topic of passion in love associated the evil and temptation. First of all the evil is introduced into the history by the curiosity of Alvare. This is a reason scour Christian religion. Then the evil is maintained in the account by the pride of Alvare which wants impresses his companions and to benefit from the tender of the spirit. Finally the evil persists in the history by the love of Alvare. In addition to showing that many religious topics are exploited this proves to us that it is well by the narrator occurs the course of the intrigue.
