Pierre Choderlos de Laclos manages to create a transcendent and witty transcription of a cat-and-mouse game of love through his most defining work, Les Liaisons Dangereuses. The most impactful aspect about this literary masterpiece is the manner in which it is composed; de Laclos elects to narrate this tale through the personal letters of the various characters introduced. Readers are able to peer into the minds of each individual and better understand their motives and desires. My absolute favorite character to hear from is Cecile Volanges. For me, I find her most interesting because of her quality of innocence and how it contributes to the progression of plot within the novel; de Laclos effectively introduces us to her in a scenario illustrating her naivety in a charming scene where she assumes the shoemaker visiting her estate a man there to marry her. I believe that the choice to conduct the story allows for de Laclos to truly expand the limits of narration by offering multiple views and opinions on the events that transpire. In doing so, he manages to stray away from focusing on the miniscule details and descriptions that most authors choose to include for creative literary purposes. Instead, the chief instruments of the novel are the roles that each person has in the fruition of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont and their personal biases and motives.
