12. Daniele Bello, imaginary drawings for the theatre of The 120 Days of Sodom

The story-tellers hold the stage for most of the time, relating episodes experienced or witnessed by them that illustrate the 600 perversions, or ‘passions’, to be covered, and provoking the libertines to act out what they have heard. The four listening friends effectively substitute for the male reader, showing him what to do.These tales depict some of the most appalling activities found in Sade’s fictions, including coprophilia and, in the final part of the book, horrific torture and murder of the most sadistic kind imaginable. The four libertines respond by inflicting similar atrocities on their captives. The eating of faeces, for instance, becomes a ritualistic event required of victims and enjoyed by the libertines.
