Jealousy in literature
Descripción: This thesis tackles the theme of jealousy considered as a genuine Art de vivre in four of Colette's novels: Le Ble en herbe, La Chatte, Duo, and La Seconde.
The first part of the thesis deals with the years of learning when protagonists gradually discover love's hardships. It's through their pangs and suffering that each one of them will become aware of his or her place in society.
In the second part devoted to young couples will appear the progressive awareness, painful though necessary, that the partner is hopelessly a stranger.
The last part studies the differences in behavioral patterns of men and women in the life of the couple. With Colette the man regresses and sinks where the woman draws strength from revolt and learns solidarity in womanhood and how to go beyond herself. In Colette's feminine universe jealousy is then a positive element encompassing self awareness and mastery over oneself enabling thus through careful and appropriate use a renewal of the feeling of love.
