Proustian Jealousy

A la recherche du temps perdu offers the fullest canonical examination of that emotion besides Othello, with the signal difference that Proust’s characters act as their own Iago. The novel includes narratives of jealousy along with lengthy philosophical discussions of its psychology and existential implications. Possession was the key euphemism for sexual intercourse at the time Proust was writing, but the term is used in the novel in both the metaphorical sense of physical penetration and a more general, differently metaphorical, understanding of psychic penetration: access to the interiority of the beloved’s psyche, in particular her erotic past and current desires. Many commentators have objected to what they see as Proust’s unnecessarily harsh portrayal of love. Charlus’s infatuation with Morel is not fundamentally different from the other love stories in the novel because they are both men; this aspect only renders it more vulnerable to Mme Verdurin’s depradations.

Ernest Pinard, critique littéraire

Classiques GARNIER · 2015-01-01

Cet article interroge la postérité juridicolittéraire qui, ­contre le « Pinard-Homais-Tartuffe » qui prononça le réquisitoire ­contre Madame Bovary, ­construisit à partir de 1912 la figure ­d'un censeur fin lecteur, passé au fil du XXe siècle du côté des modernes pour avoir perçu la charge subversive du roman. Une autre affaire, celle de Duverdy permet de montrer par ­contraste que Pinard ne doit être ni ridiculisé ni érigé en modèle ­d'une improbable sensibilité littéraire, mais ramené à la fonction juridique ­qu'il occupa.
