Abstract Details

2016, Master of Arts, Miami University, French.
If you start looking at 19th century French literature with the figure of the prostitute in mind, it becomes fairly obvious that this particular type of character is omnipresent everywhere – in fiction and in reality. Sometimes even, the prostitute is supposedly the main character of a novel, of a play or of a short-story. However, this complicated figure does not seem to be given quite the attention she deserves, and the readers often find themselves closing the book without clearly understanding her. In this thesis, we will thus try to show how 19th century authors create and describe the world of prostitution in Paris, but also question the consequences within the texts of the very typically masculine gaze that seems to rule a world where women – and especially prostitutes – cannot have any power over themselves.
