How Much Is Bowling At Red Rock

"The Man Who Laughs": BETWEEN SPECTRUM AND FIRM, THE VISIONARY


1690. Who is this child in rags, faceless, abandoned on a beach along the Channel like a Stygian Abyss? ... Open mouth grin from ear to ear in a silent, nostrils dilated, hair wild mane. It is through this spectrum as one approaches the novel is also the image of the spectrum that the child Gwynplaine falls in life by laughing petrified forever carved on her face. Face-mutilation, disfigurement face. The face as a body chaos. Flash of silent laughter, fixed and stony overwhelming. Harbinger of death, before they reveal machine affirm life.

Hugo is there in the scene "Chaos Vanquished." Drama yet unplayable as he says the show is obscene. But Gwynplaine Triumph of Death: Laughter fixed soon generates laughter living, anticipation of the laughter of Bergson in 1900 "mechanics plated on Life" .

The child comes alone at night, snow and death. Gwynplaine, ten years, hideous face, save the small Dea. The lost child carrying the foundling. Dea, blind, able to perceive the soul, transparent, and converse with the gods. She is Isis, goddess of death and ambiguous life. Dea, shepherd of a starry sky sublime assertive down the old light monarchist, monotheistic, a time which staggers. Against the grotesque in distress, a new divine.

Finally, Hugo has an appointment with himself, as Gwynplaine with a gallows mournful that stirs the wind. The stillness of death suddenly begins to live. Behind the instrument of darkness where the dead and fight night looms a huge hand in writing. The gallows laboratory writing! Hugo's great allegory: the black body and inform attacked by a pack of crows is writing in the process of describing itself, hear squealing "in a fierce back and forth" . The pen scratches and hardening as the spectrum has its substance in the ink receptacle of tears and blood of men.

Man by Hugo is a mutilated, as the human race which has been distorted the law, justice, truth, reason and intelligence. The "Laughing Man" is the strong figure of passive people who chose to guffaw and submit. In spectrograph visionary history, Hugo mobilizes the past to write with all her loved ones. In this final book of his exile ends (1869), Hugo's is more myth than ever at work.
