Summary/Abstract: The physical as well as the psychological suffering is an omnipresent theme in the work of Marie NDiaye. The writer insists notably on increasing the physical discomfort of his characters in close connection with their love disappointment. The pain is lived intensely by the characters that are described through their bodies, surface of capture of the surrounding world and emotional abyss. It will therefore be in the context of this article to detect affective expressions and to study the mechanisms of emotional language. We will also see how the affect shapes the ndiayien character's journey and how it models his narrative environment.
