description This paper discusses the relationship between equality and difference in The Man who Laughs (1869), by Victor Hugo. This historical novel is a study of the English aristocracy at the time of the Glorious Revolution (1688) and its main character is the son of a noble family. His face was mutilated by the comprachicos, and he is stigmatized because of this. The present study highlights the fact that Hugo had already explicitly described, in the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century, the conflictive relationship between equality and difference, which can be seen in present days.

Cet article traite de la relation entre égalité et différence dans L’Homme qui Rit (1869), de Victor Hugo. Ce roman historique est une étude de l’aristocratie anglaise au temps de la Révolution Glorieuse (1688), ayant comme protagoniste un fils de la haute noblesse, mutilé au visage par les comprachicos et, pour cela, stigmatisé. L’étude relève le fait de l’auteur avoir situé si explicitement, déjà à la fin du XVIIe et commencement du XVIIIe siècle, cette relation de conflit entre égalité et différence, qui perdure jusqu’à nos jours. 2017-05-25 2022-03-18T18:38:21Z 2022-03-18T18:38:21Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/lettres/article/view/9059 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63670 fra https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/lettres/article/view/9059/6548 application/pdf Lettres Françaises Lettres Françaises; n.17 (2), 2016 2526-2955 1414-025X
