Like Stendhal's later novel The Charterhouse of Parma ( La Chartreuse de Parme), Le Rouge et le Noir is a Bildungsroman. Set in France circa 1827- 30, it relates a young man's attempts to rise above his plebeian birth through a combination of talent, hard work, deception and hypocrisy, only to find himself betrayed by his own passions. Le Rouge et le Noir (1830, The Red and the Black) is a novel by French writer Stendhal. His father saved his life by causing five-hundred crowns to be distributed among the councillors.- Locke: Journey in France".- The Red and the Black (1830) by Stendhal This gentleman had already been guilty of one murder. "Castres 1676-A brother has just murdered his sister in the house next to mine. Moreover Vane is disgraced, calumniated, etc.- The Red and the Black by Stendhal The aristocracy doesn't joke in this country, thought Julien. He found him finishing his seventh year in prison. "In spite of his friends, the dandies, he made a point of seeing the celebrated Philip Vane, the one philosopher that England has had since Locke. "What pleasure, what instinct leads them to betray us?" -Chapter 21 in The Red and the Black " The perversity of woman!" thought Julien. Quel plaisir, quel instinct les porte à nous tromper !" -Chapter 21 in The Red and the Black by Stendhal " -Chapter 19 in The Red and the Black by Stendhal Their happiness assumed at times the aspect of crime. But they never recaptured the delicious serenity, the unclouded happiness, the spontaneous joy of the first days of their love, when Madame de Renal's one fear was that of not being loved enough by Julien. Their happiness would have seemed great in the eyes of other people. They underwent transports of utter madness. "Their joy was thenceforward of a far higher nature, the flame that devoured them was more intense. Leur bonheur avait quelquefois la physionomie du crime." -Chapter 19 in The Red and the Black by Stendhal Mais ils ne retrouvèrent plus la sérénité délicieuse, la félicité sans nuages, le bonheur facile des premières époques de leurs amours, quand la seule crainte de Mme de Rênal était de n'être pas assez aimée de Julien. Leur bonheur eût paru plus grand aux yeux du monde. Ils avaient des transports pleins de folie. "Leur bonheur était désormais d'une nature bien supérieure, la flamme qui les dévorait fut plus intense.
