A dynamic literary signifier in nineteenth-century literature, the young hero epitomizes the problematic existence encountered by the individual in post-revolutionary France. At the same time, he serves as a mouth-piece for an entire youthful generation burdened by historical memory.

Si les héros exercent un pouvoir sur leurs adjuvants féminins afin de parvenir à leurs fins, ces derniers sont également puissants à la fois avec les héros et au sein de leur milieu social. L’hypothèse de départ de cette étude est que la nature des relations entre les héros et les adjuvants féminins a une influence sur le partage des pouvoirs entre les sexes. En utilisant des approches sociocritique et historique, cette étude montre que dans les deux romans, les adjuvants féminins possèdent des capitaux à la fois économique, social, culturel et symbolique qui leur permettent d’aider les héros dans leur quête.
