Summary/Abstract: “All Men Are Mortal” is the third novel of Simone de Beauvoir, written in 1946. The author presents the man’s impossibility to adapt to his condition, a man who constructs himself by reporting to others and denying their abilities. Educated by his father whom he sees as a role model, Fosca becomes prince of Carmona and imposes his ideas with his family and his own people. With this presentation, we will try to discover if there is a traditional or a feminine reflection of Simone de Beauvoir regarding the man, which is the prototype that defines the most the immortal and if there is an existentialist point of view observing the prince of Carmona.
