“…Angélique’s identity is thus strongly supported by an administrative order (a student booklet) which will slowly become a spiritual and fictional order, as the young girl will increasingly detach herself (literally and figuratively speaking) from her identity booklet and dream her destiny through that of Saint Agnès.
