The stereotype plays a crucial part in the representation of death. In fact, pre-constructed images are most often associated to the idea that we construct of death. The mortal remains become an object of social exclusion. “Le Nécrophile” of Gabrielle Wittkop appeals to discursive strategies and writing approach that can be considered as a subversion of the established discourse. In trying to appropriate the remains of the other, the necrophilic character transgresses the two major occidental taboos: sexuality and death. It is in this way that the protagonist celebrates death. Instead of being repulsed by the cadaver, the Necrophiliac celebrates it through a ritual relationship.
