Unlock the more straightforward side of The Nun with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Nun by Denis Diderot, a novel which fiercely criticises the cruelty and excesses of the Church. Through the main character, the innocent novitiate Suzanne Simenon, and the ordeals she undergoes at two convents, the author condemns the power that has been placed in the hands of the sadistic nuns and delivers a passionate argument in favour of freedom of thought and expression. The Nun was published posthumously in 1796 and was an immediate success, as its support of tolerance, justice and liberty was seen as a clear illustration of the values of the French Revolution. Denis Diderot was a leading writer of the Enlightenment in the 18th century, and wrote novels, plays, philosophical dialogues and essays.Find out everything you need to know about The Nun in a fraction of the time!This in-depth and informative reading guide brings you:* A complete plot summary* Character studies* Key themes and symbols* Questions for further reflectionWhy choose BrightSummaries.com?Available in print and digital format, our publications are designed to accompany you on your reading journey.
