Going insane writing an essay on comparing the Marquise de Merteuil (Dangerous Liaisons) and the Vicomtesse de Beausésant (Père Goriot). I want to talk about so so much but I do not want to subject my poor professor to like ten pages of writing about women's roles in society and how they are villainized.
Cause Merteuil deserves her villainization, as she is quite literally a sadist in the barebones definition of the term, however, she is in fact a product of her society. Just like how Beausésant has the opportunity to turn bad and rebuff against society, in fact all of Parisian society comes to the ball to watch her be humiliated by her lover's marriage, yet she is seen as noble because instead she retires to the countryside forever.
It really is giving: you are given two options when forced to exist in such a society. With one character turning bitter against the system she is forced into (shoutout to stabbing yourself with a fork to control your facial expressions), and the other accepts her humiliation and decides to suffer from what society has done to her (d'Ajuda count your days bro).
Meanwhile Merteuil is the main figure in Dangerous Liaisons while Beausésant is just a background plot while Rastignac is realizing his girlfriend is actually the worst.
Day 1 of sharing my Dangerous Liaisons Playlists: Valmont
+ explaining why THE Valmont song is his song
This is the first Dangerous Liaisons playlist I made, and it’s definitely my favourite too.
Most of the songs are in French as it is a French book (and I’m French ❤️), but if anyone is interested in a translation/explanation onto why I added these songs feel free to ask, I’d gladly talk about it
Confidence pour Confidence: Valmont’s song
The “original” Valmont song is “Confidence Pour Confidence” by Jean Schultheis: the song is from the point of view of a narcissistic man who charms women for his own pleasure (“C’est moi que j’aime à travers vous” means “it is I whom I love through you”)
Here are some lyrics that fit and their translations:
“I like it without feelings
Confidences for confidences
It is I whom I love through you
But love me
On your knees
I am crazy about that
But in all trust, I’ll admit to you
That I can live without you”
“You cry, revolted
Shut up, you love me
But I don’t, I want you
For myself and not for you
You, I don’t care, too bad for you
Love me
On your knees
I’m crazy about that
And never forget that I play
Against you, you for me”
I apologise for the terrible translation, here’s a better one online if you’re interested:
English translation of lyrics for Confidence pour Confidence by Jean Schultheis. Je me fous, fous de vous Vous m′aimez, mais pas moi Moi je
Overall, this song fully fits Valmont, every single lyric fits him and his sick little mind
Valmont (1989). France before 1789: When a widow hears that her lover is to marry her cousin's daughter, she asks the playboy Valmont to take the girl's virginity. But first she bets him, with her body as prize, to seduce a virtuous, young, married woman.
One day I'll rate all the Dangerous Liaisons movies and this will probably be in the lower half unfortunately. Annette Bening seems to be having a lot of fun though at least, but weirdly I don't really buy Colin Firth here? Costumes are great though! 5/10.
