| Summary | "La Marquise de Sade" by Rachilde is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young girl named Mary who navigates the complexities of her family life, revealing contrasts between innocence and the darker realities of life. Key figures include her strict cousin Tulotte, who enforces discipline, and her father, Colonel Barbe, who struggles with the burdens of military life and a sickly wife. The book sets an intriguing foundation that promises a mix of childhood curiosity and grim adult themes. The opening of the book introduces us to Mary, a seven-year-old girl, and her cousin Tulotte as they traverse a heatwave-stricken landscape toward the town's abattoir. Mary is curious and somewhat defiant, leading to a comedic conflict as she expresses her discomfort and wishes to see the cows. As they reach the abattoir, Mary witnesses the brutal process of slaughtering animals, which deeply affects her. The scene is filled with stark contrasts: the playfulness of childhood curiosity meets the harsh realities of life and death. Mary's emotional turmoil surfaces through her feverish dreams, merging her innocence with haunting fears about mortality and her family dynamics, notably her mother's illness and her father's sternness.
