AB  - Unlike their Rabelaisian source, and echoing La Comédie humaine, the Contes drolatiques put women in the spotlight, from the analytical perspective of a feminine “history of behaviors.” The art of female portraiture, lexical work, and euphemization make women not only objects of pleasure, but also subjects of tragic institutional farces. In this way, Balzac favors a cunning language, and sets up Rabelais as a smiling figure of courtesan irony.
