La transgression dans Dracula de Stoker et Frankenstein de Shelley : infection du corps et de l'esprit humains
This memoire is a comparative analysis of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Bram Stoker's Dracula on the subject of transgression. It explores the ways in which each author uses the figure of the monster to represent the transgression of limits that have been established by society and nature. The monster transgresses the limits imposed by nature at the moment of its creation and by its composition. Its body is also at the frontiers of the possible and the impossible by being simultaneously a representation of life, death, humanity and bestiality. The presence of the monster is also a transgression in itself as it is the embodiment of a part of the human psyche. Finally, the monstrous being's actions categorize him as an outsider and thus, it feels no need to respect the laws imposed on humanity by society. Order must then be re-established for humanity to survive.
