Summary/Abstract: In this article, we will analyze the transformation and evolution of an extravagant character in the novel Cheri. The protagonist illustrates the detrimental consequences that reckless choices can have, moving from balance and well-being to the instability that brings him decline in the second part of the novel. Passages meant to support the hermeneutic analysis of our approach that focused on the first part of the novel were selected and analyzed. The character Chéri remains a Don Juan of French literature, who, despite his full confidence in his own strength, comes to seek the balance of a monad.
