L'ingenu, or The Ingenue, is a book written by Voltaire which tells the story of a Frenchman named "Child of Nature" who had been raised by Hurons and who has returned to his fatherland, in the French province of Brittany, among the abbot de Kerkabon and his sister, both relatives of his deceased parents.After arriving he is converted to Catholicism under the name of Hercule de Kerkabon, saves the province from British invaders and goes to Versailles to receive his rewards as a war hero.Once there, he gets a glimpse of the corruption of the realm and befalls victim of it.

Parental Incest
 The Ingenue / int_606244c2
comment
Parental Incest: In the spiritual sense: because Miss de Saint-Yves is the Huron's godmother, any marriage between them is considered as incestuous by the Catholic Church; this fact is one of the drivers for the story, because the Huron will go to Paris so as to ask for a papal dispensation.

Dirty Old Monk: When the Prior de Kerkabon went to Versailles to enquire on his nephrew's fate by meeting important prelates the bishop of Saint-Malo recommendated them to, the motive both of them are unable to speak to him is understood they were discussing about the Church and theology.

The Heretic The Ingenue is accused of being a Jansenist in a letter sent by the Bailiff. Gordon, the Ingenue's cellmate, was held in the Bastille for two years for being a Jansenist. Jansenists are said to the Prior de Kerkabon coming to Versailles to be even worse than the Huguenots and the atheists by a Jansenist.
