| Summary: | From the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of Deceit, Desire, and the Novel it is worth noting the book entitled Mimesis, Desire, and the Novel. René Girard and literary criticism (2015), which, in a compilation by Pierpaolo Antonello and Heather Webb, commemorates the philosopher's first work. For researchers this book is a classic because it proposes a comprehensive theory of human desire and its correspondence with the ethical and social phenomenon of intersubjectivity. Starting from this hypothesis of reading, we consider in the present essay that a theory of resentment in morality precedes the interdividual relations that are read by Girard when applying his analysis of mimetic desire to the main modern novels. Indeed, in novels from Cervantes to Dostoevsky, fictional characters define their interdividual relationships through the 'triangle of desire', a comprehensive model of human life found in the modern novel (Antonello & Antonello, 2015, p. 10). The triangularity of human relationships obeys the relational character of mimetic desire. Desire is dynamic and its unfolding takes place in the affective and social bonds of the particular feeling, the following of a model or object of mediation and rivalry. If the motive of human action is motivated by human desire, triangularity shows the relational character experienced by fictional characters. |
