Summary/Abstract: Although Le Sari vert is presented as a masculine monologue, it is none the less a plea in favour of women, an illustration of ill-treatment in the name of virility in a context which cannot be simply limited to society in Mauritius. In the course of this study, starting with the problematic centred on the monstrosity in its manifestations and its psychological limits, the article examines the elements specifically pertaining to the culture and the society of Mauritius, to its Indian heritage in the concept of women, to the influence of a hierarchical religion as well as the linguistic elements typical of Ananda Devi which give to the work a dimension opening onto the Western World in order to serve a cause which is sadly universal.
