Jesus ChristThe characters
The four principal characters are wealthy men, who are libertine, ruthless, and each "lawless and without religion, whom crime amused, and whose only interest lay in his passions ... and had nothing to obey but the imperious decrees of his perfidious lusts." It is no coincidence that they are authority figures in terms of their occupations. De Sade despised religion; in the chateau of the 120 Days, toilet activities must be performed in the chapel. He also opposed authority, and in many of his works he enjoyed mocking religion and authority by portraying priests, bishops, judges, and the like as sexual perverts and criminals.
The four men are:
Their accomplices are:
- The Duc de Blangis – aged 50, an aristocrat who acquired his wealth by poisoning his mother for the purposes of inheritance, prescribing the same fate to his sister when she found out about his plot. Blangis is described as being tall, strongly built, and highly sexually potent, although it is emphasised that he is a complete coward and proud of it.
- The Bishop (l’Évêque) – Blangis's brother. He is 45, a scrawny and weak man "with a nasty mouth". He greatly enjoys sodomy (anal sex), especially passive sodomy. He enjoys combining murder with sex. He refuses to have vaginal intercourse.
- The Président de Curval – aged 60, a tall and lanky man "frightfully dirty about his body and attaching voluptuousness thereto". He is so encrusted with bodily filth that it adds inches to the surface of his penis and anus. He used to be a judge and especially enjoyed handing out death sentences to defendants he knew to be innocent. He murdered a mother and her young daughter.
- Durcet – aged 53, a banker described as short and pale, with a portly, markedly feminine shape, although well kept and firm-skinned. He is effeminate and enjoys receiving anal sex from men above any other sexual activity. Like his cohorts, he has been responsible for several murders.
- Four accomplished prostitutes, middle-aged women who will relate anecdotes of their depraved careers to inspire the four principal characters into similar acts of depravity.
- Madame Duclos, 48, witty, and still fairly attractive and well-kept.
- Madame Champville, 50, a lesbian, partial to having her 3-inch (8 cm) clitoris tickled; she is a vaginal virgin, but her rear is flabby and worn from use, so much so that she feels nothing there.
- Madame Martaine, 52, especially excited by anal sex; a natural deformity prevents her from having any other kind.
- Madame Desgranges, 56, pale and emaciated, with dead eyes, whose anus is so enlarged she does not feel anything there. She is missing one nipple, three fingers, six teeth, and an eye. By far the most depraved of the four; a murderer, rapist, and general criminal.
- Eight studs (French: fouteurs, "fukkers") who are chosen solely because of their large penises.
The victims are:
- Hercule, 26
- Antinoüs, 40
- Brise-Cul ("break-arse")
- Bande-au-ciel ("erect-to-the-sky")
The girls:
- The daughters of the four principal characters, whom they have been sexually abusing for years. All of them die with the exception of the Duc's daughter Julie, who is spared after becoming something of a libertine herself.
- Eight boys and eight girls aged from 12 to 15. All have been kidnapped and chosen because of their beauty. They are also all virgins and the four libertines plan on deflowering them, vaginally and especially anally. In the selection process, the boys are dressed as girls to help the four in making selections.
- Augustine, 15
- Fanny, 14
- Zelmire, 15
- Sophie, 14
The boys:
- Colombe, 13
- Hébé, 12
- Rosette, 13
- Mimi, 12
- Zélamir, 13
- Cupidon, 13
- Narcisse, 12
- Zephyr, 12
- Celadon, 14
- Adonis, 15
- Hyacinthe, 14
- Giton, 12
- Four middle-aged women, chosen for their ugliness to stand in contrast to the children.
- Marie, 58, who strangled all 14 of her children and one of whose buttocks is consumed by an abscess.
- Louison, 60, stunted, hunchbacked, blind in one eye and lame.
- Thérèse, 62, has no hair or teeth. Her anus, which she has never wiped in her whole life, resembles a volcano. All of her orifices stink.
- Fanchon, 69, short and heavy, with hemorrhoids the size of a fist hanging from her anus. She is usually drunk, vomits constantly, and has fecal incontinence.
There are also several cooks and female servants, those in the latter category later being dragged into the proceedings.
- Four of the eight aforementioned studs.
