ABSTRACT

In Les Chouans, Balzac casts two central characters – Corentin and Marie de Verneuil – as an Incroyable and a Merveilleuse, extravagantly-dressed figures from the revolutionary era. Analysing the historical and cultural significance of the Incroyable and the Merveilleuse underscores an ambiguity inherent in this novel, as these dandies (here, sent to disable royalist forces) were known for opposing the Revolution. Corentin and Marie de Verneuil, through their remarkable attire, offer an explicit – but ultimately unclear – expression of their political convictions, one that suggests a conflicted attitude towards the historical change they are sent to effect.

摘要

在《 Les Chouans》中，巴尔扎克扮演了两个中心人物，分别是Corentin和Marie de Verneuil，是革命时代的华丽女性和华丽女性。分析《死刑犯》和《梅尔维尔女警》的历史和文化意义，突显了这部小说的内在含糊性，因为这些花花公子（在这里被派去残废保皇派力量）以反对革命而闻名。Corentin和Marie de Verneuil通过其非凡的着装，表达了他们对政治信念的明确表达，但最终还是不清楚。这种表达表明，人们对他们执行的历史变革持矛盾态度。
