Description
In the novel “The Nun,” the tragic story of Suzanne Simonin unfolds—forced into a convent. Exposing the institution of monasticism grows into a condemnation of all violence committed against human rights:
“To take a vow of poverty is to pledge yourself to be a lazybones and a thief; to take a vow of chastity is to promise God a constant violation of his wisest and most powerful law; to take a vow of obedience is to renounce a person’s inalienable right—the freedom.”
“Man is created for society.”
“Put a person in a deep forest, and they will turn into a wild beast.”
But a convent is worse than a deep forest, because it is tied to the idea of slavery. The author gives her heroine analytical thinking, inner strength, and the wholeness of character. And she rebels against the tyranny of the rule, the despotic authority of abbesses, against all forms of humiliating human dignity—and against what happens behind the convent walls.
