From Sous le Soleil de Satan to Monsieur Ouine, Bernanos ’ novels are characterized by the emergence of ‘supernatural silence(s)’ (Bernanos, 2015 : 679), which can prove to be disturbing . The brutal sign of evil ’s appeance in the narrative limits in most cases the character to silence, to verbal incapacity . Indeed, evil has the strength to hold thought and speech in check . That is the reason why the characters that are racked by evil make good use of language so that they don ’t say anything genuine nor honest . Bernanos ’ writing succeds in defining these silences thanks to numerous ellipsis as well as things that remain unmentioned, embarrased silences, thus emphasizing the presence of the supernatural . Punctuation in particular takes an important part in creating breaks, switchovers within sentences as well as in the narrative . These silences show off an experience that cannot be told . As a consequence, a true rhetoric of what is unspeakable is at stake in Bernanos ’ novels . The use of adjectives made up with privative prefixes, indefinite pronouns, rough phrases and other figures of what is unspoken, contribute to explaining evil ’s unbelievable experience .
