The Victorian era’s patriarchal ideals rooted on fear of female empowerment influenced Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s lesbian vampire novella‚ Carmilla. The social ambience created by patriarchy at the time limited women to be objects of desire to be owned and controlled by men.

The novella Carmilla is an attempt

‘Ce que le théâtre peut montrer de plus émouvant est un caractère en train de se faire‚ le moment du choix‚ de la libre décision qui engage une morale et toute une vie’ (Sartre).

Antoinette. Les Misérables is a Broadway musical and movie based on the book of the same name by Victor Hugo that was historically popular because it was supposed to be based on the French Revolution. The French Revolution and Les Misérables both showed an extravagant amount of poverty but Les Misérables did not show much about Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette even though the French Revolution revolved around them.

Chivalry is not dead‚ the definition‚ as well as societal norms‚ have merely changed over time. Over the last decade‚ hook-up culture as well as technology have all played a vital role in why chivalry has changed so drastically.

Which factors were totally eliminated by Le Cirque and what are the operational and financial implications?

I agree with the statement‚ “In Les Miserables‚ Victor Hugo is trying to say that human nature is basically good”. Victor Hugo is doing this by having his book consist of many characters who symbolize human nature’s goodness within the story.
