| Abstract: | Our research paper is about the importance of otherness in constructing the characters in sentimental novels and we mean here the two criteria of otherness: class and gender otherness. This article attempts to discuss the role of “otherness” in constructing the character’s identity in the sentimental novel focussing on the connections between two sociological concepts: identity and alterity. We start from the idea that every person, every identity is the product of others. By others we can understand partners or enemies, men or women, rich or poor people, etc., all of them having a great importance in creating, shaping or adjusting an identity. |
