Book review: the age of reasons by jean paul satre
JACQUES," that freedom consisted in frankly confronting situations into which one had deliberately entered, and accepted all one's responsibilities. But that , no doubt , is not your view: you condemn capitalist society, and yet you are an official in they society; you display an abstract sympathy with Communists, but you take care not to commit yourself , and yet you are a bourgeois, son and brother of a bourgeois, and you live like a bourgeois.
You have ,however , reached the age of reasons,my poor Mathieu"
Mathieu the main character of the novel and these are the words of Mathieu's brother Jacques who tells him about his personality which Mathieu wouldn't accept . Mathieu went to his brother to ask for four thousand francs as he was in dire need of it. Marcelle a friend of Mathieu was pregnant and an abortion was being planned by both of them. Mathieu asked his friend Daniel , Boris but none gave the money he required .

In the end ,money was arranged, but Marcelle no more wanted it. She'd had decided to marry Daniel , an homosexual, only for she wanted to keep the child, although it's convulated to discern the story in the novel but the main theme jean poul satre tried to convey us was about the freedom a person desires to have is just the responsibilities he has to take but he thinks freedom lies in not taking responsibilities that's his mistake . The age of reasons is the emptiness that is left behind with you in search of your freedom.
