Le déguisement dans Trubert : l’identité en question

Corinne Füg-Pierreville
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.Keywords : Trubert, disguise, fabliau, satire, transgressiveness.
