In 'Fragments d'un discours amoureux', Roland Barthes delves into the solitary and often unacknowledged discourse of love. The book is composed of 80 short essays or 'figures' that capture various moments and emotions within the romantic experience. Barthes draws on literary works, such as Goethe's 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', as well as other forms of art and personal reflections to construct a theoretical discourse on love. The text emphasizes the solitude and universality of the lover's experience, highlighting themes like absence, dedication, and the fleeting nature of love. The work is characterized by its structural approach, presenting love as a series of fragmented thoughts and emotions rather than a cohesive narrative.

Dans 'De la Colère', Sénèque examine en profondeur la passion de la colère, la décrivant comme une brève folie qui peut avoir des conséquences dévastatrices. Il propose une thérapie pour la colère, incluant la prévention et le traitement, en s'appuyant sur des exemples historiques pour illustrer ses idées.
