| Description | The analysis of Jacques Ferron’s novel Les roses sauvages follows three paths: the implication of marvelous and of the mythemes of the tale Sleeping Beauty in a novelistic text, the spatial arrangement and the semantization of spatiality, the complementary relation between fictional (novel) and non-fictional narratives (Ferron’s nosology of a patient and her own testimony). In this narrative configuration, the central theme of madness receives a specific lighting. The novel functions as a bridge between universal and individual by deepening and completing Ferron’s polemical reflection and by transfiguring patient’s personal testimony into a literalized message, a truth sub specie aeternitatis. |
