Description
Andre Gide's Les Caves du Vatican is a work of complex
social criticism. Using primarily the metaphor of the
labyrinth and working in satire and comic burlesque, Gide
analyzes the structure and role of the Catholic Church,
the family, and society in general. He dramatizes
multiple forms of hypocrisy and sincerity, lucidity and
blindness, freedom and entrapment. He offers no social
program, and he does not preach. Rather, he mocks
existing structures and raises disturbing questions
about social and moral choice.
