Traditional conceptions of virtue are often centered on traits of religious obedience, bigotry and charitable gestures. These characteristics are encouraged and are generally seen positively, being keenly opposed to all that diverges from this quite rigid moral model. In one of his fantasy stories, “Légende Poldève”, Marcel Aymé makes a parallel between two categorically contrary characters: one totally correct and irreproachable, and the other - a thorough scoundrel and an incorrigible sinner. The author creates a prototype of incarnated virtue, and in order to make it even more convincing, opposes to it an anti-virtue alternative model. Their antagonism that results in a paradoxical denouement, ridicules hypocritical conceptions of virtue and satires exaggerated demonstrations of it.

REZUMAT
Concepțiile tradiționale despre virtute sunt adesea centrate pe noţiunea de supunere religioasă, bigotism și gesturi caritabile. Aceste caracteristici sunt încurajate și, în general, văzute pozitiv, fiind puternic opuse la tot ceea ce se abate de la acest model moral destul de rigid. Într-una dintre poveștile sale fantastice, „Légende Poldève”, Marcel Aymé face o paralelă între două personaje categoric contrare: unul total corect și ireproșabil, iar celălalt - un ticălos temeinic și un păcătos incorigibil. Autorul creează un prototip al virtuții încarnate și, pentru a-l face și mai convingător, îi opune un model alternativ, cel al anti-virtuții. Antagonismul lor, care are ca rezultat un deznodământ paradoxal, ridiculizează concepțiile ipocrite despre virtute și satirează demonstrații exagerate ale acesteia.
