Abstract
Abstract The article explores the actualisations of the concepts of pudency and indecency in Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt’s short story La Rêveuse d’Ostende. The author tries to demonstrate that the oscillation between pudency and indecency creates an intense erotic tension which maintains the narrative tension. The leading idea at the end of the analysis is that characthers’ interior tension due to sensual experiences influences the narrative’s process tension.
