Making Ferris Bueller Vest

The immoral, Andre Gide (1902)


Through this short novel with a surprising depth, Gide lays the foundation his vision of Superman by Nietzsche already developed a few years earlier.

Michel was born in the books, feeds and fresh water culture. Educated by his father, he embarks on a very sophisticated analysis such as "the influence of Gothic Art on the deformation of the Latin language." But the disease (tuberculosis) and then marriage with Marcellina will turn gradually.

The disease makes him realize the value of a life but also its fragile side. This instilled in him a sensitivity, a search of the true self. Similarly Marcelline triggers in him the birth of its "physical life". The enjoyment is no longer in the books and abstract aspect of the past but rather in the present and the senses.

It therefore rejects any form of abstract art and research in it the greatness of his hero, one who can always live in us. Fear of death has caused the disease to create a trauma history. The latter is the lucid narrative of human mortality, a series of epics, ruins the present. We must therefore draw on the past which is land in humans, which can be used in the present. Culture as a simple coating his being must be denied, just like any form of morality. We must come together, crowd. As stated Menalcas, meets colorful when you invent one is always alone, forget the past "be like the bird that flies away and forgets his own shadow."

Michel becomes an immoral. His illness was a kind of expiation of his being rational from the outside, a metamorphosis, a rebirth. Up to conquer the core of his being. We notice when he shows a genuine interest in child beings and nature still true, especially in the Moktir person who steals a knife on the sly. The landscape takes on a different value in his eyes. He is passionate about the desert country where all human hope and career fails. Arab culture seems wonderful as it is lived and not learned. His love with Marcelline becoming more intense, despite the disease's growing it.

working actively in the first instance, be immoral begins to take root in Michel. Honesty discourage him as it is false and footprint of all the virtues inherent in non-human. In sum more than being sought is the metamorphosis that seems be most beneficial to morale. Enjoy a situation when we know that what is rejected is less attractive and enjoyment, can only enhance his own pleasure.

Finally, the "immoral" is a kind of fact sheet on finding the core of being. Cultivate a difference, acquire existential freedom, not dip into the culture that greatness of soul, as many messages Gide's book with a shamelessness far from being accepted. We seldom realize that this book almost 110 years and still shocked as to what libertarians and devoid of all morality in particular on issues such as pedophilia or homosexuality. Subjects still taboo today but for lascivious described by Gide.
