vicit pudorem libido timorem audacia rationem amentia

Lust conquered shame; audacity, fear; madness, reason




Vicit pudorem libido timorem audacia rationem amentia. (Cicero, Pro Cluentio, VI.15)

In rhetoric, zeugma (i/ˈzuːɡmə/ or /ˈzjuːɡmə/; from the Ancient Greek ζεῦγμα, zeûgma, lit. "a yoking together"[1]) and syllepsis (/sɪˈlɛpsɪs/; from the Ancient Greek σύλληψις, sullēpsis, lit. "a taking together"[2]) are figures of speech in which one single phrase or word joins different parts of a sentence.[3]

femme au mirroir

les mots

Les Mots, Jean-Paul Sartre. 1963

The text is divided into two near-equal parts entitled 'Reading' and 'Writing'. However, according to Philippe Lejeune, these two parts are only a façade and are not relevant to the chronological progression of the work. He considers the text to instead be divided into five parts which he calls 'acts':

• The first act presents in chronological order the 'prehistory' of the child by giving his family origin.

• The second act evokes the different roles Sartre acted out in his seclusion to an imaginary world, enabled by his family.^[1]

• The third act tells of his conscious realization of his imposture, his contingency, his fear of death and his ugliness.

• The fourth act presents the development of a new imposture, in which Sartre took up multiple different postures of writing.

• The fifth act relates Sartre's delusion, which he considers the source of his dynamism, and contains the announcement of a second book which he did not complete before his death
