A comparative study of the theme of revolt in Le Mariage de Figaro and Cahier d’un retour au pays natal (English)
Abstract [fr]

Le présent travail fait une analyse comparative des oeuvres littéraires Le Mariage de Figaro de Beaumarchais et Cahier d’un retour au pays natal d’Aimé Césaire sous le thème de la révolte. Le but de l’analyse est de voir si les sentiments de révolte exprimés par les deux auteurs sont de même nature, bien que les deux oeuvres soient de genres différents, de périodes différentes et de courants littéraires différents. Notre recherche a montré que Beaumarchais n'avait pas l’intention de nuire au trône royal. Par son génie, il a fait un théâtre de comédie satirique contre les avantages aristocratiques acquis seulement par naissance et souhaitait l'ennoblissement par le mérite. Beaumarchais exprime également son désarroi contre le traitement infligé aux femmes. Quant à Aimé Césaire, il a eu le privilège de connaître ses origines et sa culture d’origine africaine au contact de Senghor. Son poème est conçu comme une bombe verbale afin de combattre l’esclavagisme et le colonialisme. Il exprime ses sentiments de révolte contre la pauvreté sans nom qui frappe son pays et lance un appel à la révolte contre le colonisateur. Nous constatons également que le lien d’influence de Beaumarchais sur Césaire n’est pas direct, mais passe par les connaissances profondes qu’a Césaire sur la Révolution française et la philosophie des Lumières.

Abstract [en]

This work makes a comparative analysis of the literary works The Marriage of Figaro by Beaumarchais and Cahier d'un retour au pays natal by Aimé Césaire under the theme of revolt. The aim of the analysis is to see if the feelings of revolt expressed by the two authors are of the same nature, although the two works are of different genres, from different periods and from different literary currents. Our research showed that Beaumarchais had no intention of harming the royal throne. By his genius he made satirical comedy theater against aristocratic advantages acquired only by birth and desired ennoblement by merit. Beaumarchais also expresses his dismay at the treatment inflicted on women. As for Aimé Césaire, he had the privilege of knowing his origins and his culture of African origin in contact with Senghor. His poem is designed as a verbal bomb to fight slavery and colonialism. He expresses his feelings of revolt against the nameless poverty that strikes his country and launches a call for revolt against the colonizer. We also note that the link of influence of Beaumarchais on Césaire is not direct but passes through Césaire's deep knowledge of the French Revolution and the philosophy of the Enlightenment.
