Abstract
The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the male protagonist of the second story of Marie NDiaye's "Three Strong Women" ("Trois femmes puissantes") can be viewed as a fantastic character. The protagonist's hesitation in the face of unsettling phenomena - both the external world and the traumatic events from his past - constitutes the central pivot of his construction. The fantastic characteristics of Rudy Descas, whose voice is predominant in the text, reveal the multidimensionality of the supernatural in NDiaye's work, as the boundaries between the notion of the "character" and the "phenomenon" are not clearly defined. The analysis is based on literary theories concerning the nineteenth century fantastic, the new fantastic and the African fantastic.
