Boudoir - what is it? General definition and role in the work of the scandalous Marquis de Sade
"The philosophy of the boudoir" of the Marquis de Sade as a small window in the mores of the time that conceal deep needs without a husk. First, we'll find out the basics.
The very word "boudoir" sounds intriguing. It conceals secrets and mysteries in itself, being a symbiosis of femininity and a secret arena on which human destinies are being wrought. Women at all times had a great influence on men, and probably most decisions were made not in the offices, but in these secluded chambers.
What is this?
Boudoir was called the women's chambers, dating back to the 18th century. Note - not a faceless "female half", but a charming, enticing boudoir.
The Boudoir is not only a zone of coquetry
These rooms attracted men with their symbiosis of permissiveness and propriety. The double bottom of the premises, designed to provide comfort to women in their daily affairs, regularly received response in a variety of works from the field of painting and literature. Indeed, the boudoir is a bottomless source of inspiration for lovers of beauty. Do not fail to this source in due time to join the scandalous Marquis de Sade.
About the poor marquise, say the word
This outstanding husband was born in France in 1740. The writer, philosopher and unprincipled admirer of absolute freedom belonged to the most ancient family of the French aristocracy.
- God does not exist. The absence of morality as such, the denial of church canons. Propaganda of aggressive hedonism.
- Chanting a free person, not burdened with frames. In his opinion, the same boudoir - what is it? Abode, where a man can let himself go and make animal manifestations absolute, even if he can not "lose face" in public - no one will see, no one will tell.
- There are no estates. There are only those who command and those who submit - the middle is not given. Primitive question of the strongest and weakest in all its monotony.
- Denial of any rules in principle.
- Reciting the killing as a natural process designed to save the Earth from overpopulation, which will result in an acute need for resources.
"The philosophy of the boudoir" of the Marquis de Sade
One of the works of the Marquis, as already stated above, is devoted to the boudoir, or rather, to what is happening in it.
If desired, we can draw a parallel between this work and the theory of Sigmund Freud, in which he emphasized the unconscious, in parallel with this singling out the animal It, the habitual I and the unreachable Self. De Sade elegantly bypasses the latter two concepts, fully focusing his attention on the first. "Libido - it's good, it's important and necessary, go at it on an occasion and come what may!" - the author tells us between the lines. No platonic love and sublime feelings at the fingertips, direct satisfaction of their desires. Of course, the philosophy of the boudoir is controversial, but there is also a rational grain in it - in pursuit of the complexity and sublimity of feelings, people forget to establish contact with themselves, to understand what they really want.
So, all the same boudoir - what is it? A place where they will not be seen or condemned, a place where you can spend a little time in the skin of the Marquis de Sade without losing a social image.
