Juliette, or Vice Amply Rewarded is a novel written by the infamous Marquis de Sade around the French Revolution. It's a companion piece to his previous novel, Justine. While Justine focuses on a girl who is punished for being virtuous, Juliette focuses on her titular sister, who is rewarded for her vice.Set in the 1770 and 1780s, Juliette starts off as a young girl raised in a nunnery, but later joins a brothel in her teenage years. She becomes the most prestigious, sought-after prostitute among the French Aristocracy, and eventually falls in love with three elites, Saint-Fond, Noirceuil, and Clairwel, who collectively corrupt her into a murderous, nymphomaniacal noblewoman that goes on a decade-long misadventure of debauchery and degeneracy.To put into perspective how disturbing this story is, when Napoléon Bonaparte read it, he had de Sade arrested and imprisoned for the rest of his life.Received a film adaptation In Name Only called Juliette de Sade (1969). However, bits and pieces of it are also more accurately adapted in Justine de Sade (1972) and Marquis de Sade's Justine (1969).

Dirty Coward: The libertines are all proudly cowards, sobbing and begging whenever the tables are turned and their lives are threatened. They believe that to be brave is to hate life, and to be a coward is to love life.

French Jerk: Every single French aristocrat is depicted as a hedonistic psychopath. They also tend to be French nationalists, making their behavior all the more pompous. However, to be fair, in de Sade's world all aristocracies are evil, whether they be French, Italian, Russian, Dutch, or Swedish.

Corrupt Politician: Saint-Fond is a member of France's Council of Ministers. His exact office isn't specified, but he seems to be a treasurer or justice minister of some sort. He uses his powers to induce a famine and falsely imprison innocent people. Noirceuil eventually poisons him and usurps his position.

Everyone Is Bi: Seems to be an Author Filibuster by Marquis De Sade. Just about every libertine Juliette comes across, is a bisexual nymphomaniac who is also a ruthless serial killer that despises religion and any sort of morality. The odds of finding bisexual libertines who are interested in every sort of fetish, in the 18th century, may seem low, but it's upon the reader's credulousness.

Karma Houdini Warranty
 Juliette / int_599f943f
comment
Karma Houdini Warranty: The author says at the very end that Juliette died 10 years after the book's ending, without giving details. Since the book takes place a few years before the French Revolution, this could possibly imply that Juliette was one of the many aristocrats guillotined by crazed revolutionaries, or purged by Napoleon's regime like de Sade himself was.

Government Conspiracy: Yes, this trope is Older Than Radio. This story subscribes to the real-life "Pacte de Famine" conspiracy theory, which alleges that the French government orchestrated a series of famines throughout the 18th century to cull the population. This was one of the biggest fuels for the Revolution.

Author Appeal
 Juliette / int_6627695f
comment
Author Appeal: Like most of de Sade's works, practically every character is an out-and-out atheist if not anti-theist who despises the idea of the universe being a benevolent or fair place, much less one made by a benevolent deity. As the title makes clear, vice and hedonism are rewarded, torture, rape, murder, bestiality, pedophilia, necrophilia (and practically any other -philia you can think of) are commonplace, and every sociopathic prick is a Karma Houdini. It's like if one took Humans Are Bastards and Hobbes Was Right as jerk-off material, which the author very well may have.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: At the end, the author breaks character to insist that all characters and events really did happen, just with the names changed. More specifically, Juliette's tour of Italy is based on de Sade's, where he claims to have participated in blood orgies with the King and Queen of Naples, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and the Pope... Dubious.
