Dangerous Liaisons

Even today there is a very defined tension between men and women. This tension has been around for centuries and is evident in the novel “Dangerous Liaisons” especially in the interactions between the main two characters, Valmont and Merteuil. In many ways, these two have opposing moral with the rest of society. These are greed, conquest, and corruption. These oppose the society because the society values religion and decency, all throughout the story Valmont and Merteuil go against those values

Comparison and Differences of Dangerous Liaisons Novel and Film The film Dangerous Liaison, directed by Stephen Frears remains just about faithful to the epistolary novel, Dangerous Liaisons, by Choderlos de Laclos. Stephen Frears does "betray" the novel towards the end of the film but, it makes the ending that much more better and enticing. The film represents what the epistolary novel only hints at us readers. The novel is composed of letters where we only get a sense of the characters thoughts

Dangerous Liaisons : Pierre Choderlos de Laclos Dangerous Liaisons is an epistolary novel written in 1982 by Choderlos de Laclos. It is part of the eighteenth-century society, where former libertine lovers, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, engage in a story of power, seduction, manipulation, and appearance.

Dangerous Liaisons is an epistolary novel written in the 1700s detailing the events of a set of high-class people and their conquests for love and revenge. One of the many characteristics of this novel that make it unique is the French language used in the novel and the way the novel is written. The language and word choices are features that are important to a deeper understanding of the novel. The language used is specific to French culture and society and therefore the language creates a different

Comparing Dangerous Liaisons by Choderlos de Laclos and Cruel Intentions the Movie It is my intention to compare the book, Dangerous Liaisons by Choderlos de Laclos, to its modern movie version, Cruel Intentions starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. I intend to examine how the original French text was modified in reference to plot, character, morals/values, and themes. I also plan to discuss how these transformations change the meaning of the story and reflect different cultural/historical contexts

criticized her weight, made false accusations, cheated, called her names, and physically assaulted her during pregnancy. A psychopath seeks to destroy your self-worth and self-esteem through cruel and methodical mind manipulation. In her book, Dangerous Liaisons: How to Recognize and Escape from Psychopathic Seduction, Claudia Moscovici writes about psychopaths and how they seduce women. She reveals the process of psychopathic seduction: Idealize, Devalue, and Discard. Let’s examine Nakia’s abusive

Dangerous Liaisons: Present and Past       Halfway through viewing Dangerous Liaisons, a remarkable contrast as well as a huge parallel came to mind.  The film's principal characters' treatment of their promiscuity was quite different from what we see today.  They were quite covert about their sexual relations, and often concocted cunning plans to assure the secrecy of their activities.  Today we find quite the opposite taking place on our news programs and talk shows.  It seems to me

Unprotected sex is best described as a dangerous liaison. There are numerous consequences, all of which lead to detrimental results on any individual (whether it be physically or emotionally). Sex is a universal language; in fact so universal that 82 percent of the United States, 80 percent of Russia, 75 percent of Chile, 66 percent of Sweden, and 6 percent of Kenya is sexually active. Consequences vary from sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, genital herpes, or HPV, to teen pregnancies

that in the old times women did not have equal rights as men. Men had more social and political freedom comparing to women, and the system was organized on men. It took a really long time for women to gain at least some equality. In the book Dangerous Liaisons by Pierre Ambroise Laclos there are many examples of women having much less rights comparing to men in the 18th century. Back then, women simply couldn’t do what men could simply because they were women and they weren’t considered as powerful

Dangerous Liaisons, I first watched on HBO as a young girl, and I felt something I had not before felt, sexuality. I came to also understand lust, innocence, betrayal, and sadly enough, the loss of a females virtue. This French film introduced sexual inequality in the most dramatic, romantic yet, sinfully alluring way. "How do the works of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, Les liaisons dangereuses, 1789 compare or contrast to those of Christopher Hampton 's, Dangerous Liaisons, 1989?" The main characters
