Using the parody of traditional motives of chanson de geste, Sade made the Aix-en-Provence President a person of ridicule, similarly found in the writings of Aristotle in Poetic. However, the repeated and tragic changes of the fate of Florville, the victim, orient the text towards involuntary irony. Through the comic aspect, it is possible to recognize the dominant and deeper elements of Sade’s narration. The two tales therefore become a pretext, a criticism of Sade, as the philosopher, towards society of the XVIII century.

Abstract
Using the parody of traditional motives of chanson de geste, Sade made the Aix-en-Provence President a person of ridicule, similarly found in the writings of Aristotle in Poetic. However, the repeated and tragic changes of the fate of Florville, the victim, orient the text towards involuntary irony. Through the comic aspect, it is possible to recognize the dominant and deeper elements of Sade’s narration. The two tales therefore become a pretext, a criticism of Sade, as the philosopher, towards society of the XVIII century.
