A review by rubentexas
Justine, or The Misfortunes of Virtue by Marquis de Sade
2.0
Justine naively trusts someone —> Justine is brutally raped and abused by libertines who explain their crimes as natural and necessary —> Justine escapes —> Justine naively trusts someone, repeat ad nauseam.
Dreadfully repetitive, boring, barely a novel, clunky exposition of libertine arguments. Only interesting in how it prefigures modern notions of modern relativism and Nietzsche’s account of morality as a power structure.
