| In "Molestation and Authority in Narrative Fiction" (1971) we get a taste of Said's vast knowledge in the literary field with his glib usage of literature from Dickens, Flaubert, Proust, Balzac, Goethe, Laclos, Twain, Eliot, James, Conrad and others to illustrate his points. These issues define a group of texts that Sears explicitly acknowledges are not normally considered together: Chretien de Troyes' Lancelot, Diego de San Pedro's Carcel de Amor, Diego de Rojas' Celistina, and Madame de Lafayette's La Princesse de Cleves; in addition, she makes passing reference to Richardson, Laclos, and Fanny Hill. My one major criticism of LaBute is that he does not allow the character of the more ruthless schemer, Chad, to expand within his evil the way Laclos amplified the malevolence of the Marquise de Merteuil in Liaisons. |
