Juliette

Product Information

These are described in true Sadean form. However, unlike some of his other works, the novel is not just a catalogue of sadism. Anarchy Is Chaos: De Sade's philosophy on government and society is explored; he believes that law is unfair and lawlessness is fair because the law is one-sided (only the law has the power to persecute and not vice versa) while lawlessness allows everyone to victimize each other equally. The libertines derive as much satisfaction from defeating their opponents intellectually as they do from subduing and abusing them physically, while the victims themselves (and Justine offers the best example of this) rise admirably to the challenge with equally forceful and reasoned replies. What if Juliet put the dagger down and decided to take a girls trip instead? In this irreverent rewrite that’s exactly what happens. White, Jessica (18 January 2022).

[31] Marquis de Sade, whose full name was Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, was a French nobleman and writer born on June 2, 1740, in Paris, France. He is primarily known for his controversial and sexually explicit works, which have earned him a reputation as one of the most infamous writers in history. In 1554, Matteo Bandello published the second volume of his Novelle, which included his version of Giuletta e Romeo, [15] probably written between 1531 and 1545. Bandello lengthened and weighed down the plot while leaving the storyline basically unchanged (though he did introduce Benvolio). [18] Bandello's story was translated into French by Pierre Boaistuau in 1559 in the first volume of his Histories Tragiques. Boaistuau adds much moralising and sentiment, and the characters indulge in rhetorical outbursts. [20] Broadway's & Juliet | Cast and Creatives. YouTube (Videotape). Interviewed by Suzette Bishop.

Juliette grows up to embrace a life of libertinism, rejecting the idea of monogamy and engaging in a wide variety of sexual activities with both men and women.
