Running counter to the French critical tradition, in which Oh les beaux jours is often neglected, we consider that this play offers, through the experience of Winnie, a vision that might help us to enrich our conception of aging. In this reading, Winnie is no more a featherbrained child-woman, but someone who fightsâby caring, and by the creative use of language and memoryâto sustain her humanity in a situation of inevitable decline.
