Is Julien an example of master morality?

>> No.5333175

>>5333172
I think so.

>> No.5333196

Considering that Julien is a typically stendhalien hero, and that Nietzsche was an admirer of Stendhal throughout his life, probably. He fits the whole "being active, not overthinking things and doing what you want against peer pressure" schtick.

Some powerhouse thinkers on this board.

The introduction to my folio edition of The Red and The Black talked about this very problem.

To a certain surface level extent, yes, Julien is a Neitzschan character due to his obvious will to power. However he is even more than this.
Julien only succeeds when he messes up. Example, because he continuously falls off his horse, the French aristocrat takes a liking to him and therefore decides to mold him to be his 2nd son. So Julien is very much like Nietzsche to the extent that both wished to be greater than they actually are. Its an irony that both were fatally flawed within themselves and because of this overreached on their own abilities.
