Les ennuis du quotidien à l’aube de la Révolution tranquille dans Zone de Marcel Dubé et à l’aube du troisième millénaire dans Cendres de cailloux de Daniel Danis
The Troubles of Everyday Life at the Dawn of the Quiet Revolution in the Marcel Dubé Zone and at the Dawn of the Third Millennium in Stone and Ashes by Daniel Danis

Summary/Abstract: This article intends to compare two plays of Quebec authors belonging to two different generations: Zone by Marcel Dubé (1953) and Stone and Ashes by Daniel Danis (1992). Both plays present a group of friends, members of a gang of adolescents or young adults; the first one from a suburb of Montreal from the fifties, the second one comes from a small provincial town from the nineteen nineties. Both groups are comprised of four boys and one girl. A special anthroponymy, characteristic of texts addressed to the young public or evoking this particular addressee, presents surprising similarities. In addition, the daily preoccupations of the young protagonists seem to bring up universal characteristics.
