Description
Summary:This article aims to complete the study of Gyp's image, offered in a previous article, in which we analysed the author's image portrayed in her memoirs, the one depicted by her contemporaries, as well as the one described in the most recent biographies about Gyp. We will now focus on the study of Gyp's fictional image. We will thus analyse the depiction of Corysande d'Avesnes, the main female character of her novel Le mariage de Chiffon (1894), in order to contrast it with the writer's self-portrayal in her memoirs and unveil the analogies which link this fictional book to the author's life, paying particular attention to the portrayal of the main feminine character, her language and her critical message towards the society of her time. We will verify that the analogies involve not only the representation of the different characters of the novel and their interaction, but also the storyline. Moreover, we will establish to which extent Gyp's fictional image appears to be more enlightening than her memories.
