Quote by Simone de Beauvoir

Dans la femme parée, la Nature est présente, mais captive, modelée par une volonté humaine selon le désir de l'homme.


Dans la femme parée, la Nature est présente, mais captive,

Summary

Ce quote souligne le concept selon lequel la femme est perçue comme un être naturellement beau, mais que son apparence est également façonnée et contrôlée par la volonté et le désir des hommes. La Nature fait référence aux attributs physiques et à l'esthétique féminine innée, tandis que la captivité implique que ces attributs sont contraints et réarrangés par les normes, les préférences et les aspirations sociales imposées par la société patriarcale. Ainsi, ce quote met en lumière le paradoxe entre l'idée de beauté naturelle et l'idée de beauté artificielle créée pour satisfaire les attentes masculines.

But to us of a later generation...it is inconceivable that millions of Christian men should have killed and tortured each other, because Napoleon was ambitious, Alexander firm, English policy crafty, and the Duke of Oldenburg hardly treated. We cannot grasp the connections between these circumstances and the bare fact of murder and violence, nor why the duke's wrongs should induce thousands of men from the other side of Europe to pillage and murder the inhabitants of the Smolensk and Moscow provinces and to be slaughtered by them.
