It is the story of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de
Valmont, two narcissistic rivals (and ex-lovers) who use seduction as
a weapon to socially control and exploit others, all the while
enjoying their cruel games and boasting about their talent for
manipulation. It has been seen as depicting the corruption and
depravity of the French nobility shortly before the French Revolution,
and thereby attacking the Ancien Régime.
