المستخلص:In his novel Nana, Emile Zola subjectively draws a negative portrait of the female public performer and violently describes her as a prostitute who uses the stage to chase customers. The actress is not portrayed as an artist but rather as a courtesan who has no talent and no dramatic spirit; her exhibitionism is identified as a form of prostitution. Nana who represents the nineteenth-century public performer becomes an emblem of immorality and corruption. Violence is manifested in Zola's representation of the female body as a site for caprices and beastly sexuality. His discourse is full of violent statements which dehumanize public performers and equate them with the classical stereotype of "Eve the temptress" and with the image of the femme fatale. The novel's ending similarly reflects the violent destruction and distortion of the publicly-exposed female body.
