| Riassunto: | The Disguise in Trubert : Questioning the Identity
So far, few studies have focused on Trubert, a text that is difficult to categorize.
The narrative follows the protagonist who disguises himself over and over again, as
a carpenter, a doctor, a young nobleman who aspires to knighthood, and finally as a
woman. He adopts disguises in a sequence of increasing complexity and transgressiveness. As the story unfolds, Truchet’s disguising grows implausible, but it illustrates the problems of the medieval society, acerbically satirizing doctors, aristocrats
and women. The disguises reflect also a pessimistic but strangely modern vision of
the world where absurdity and gratuitous violence prevail. The multiple disguises
raises the issue of the real identity of the eponymous hero : Is he the parodical double
of Percival, the medieval jester, the devil’s incarnation, the Antichrist or the fantasized double of the author, due to his command of the language and his ability to
manipulate the other characters. |
