The Prisoner and The Fugitive fulfill Swannβs much earlier warning to Marcel: βThough the subjection of the woman may briefly allay the jealousy of the man, it eventually makes it even more demandingβ, as Marcel and Albertine are locked in a cycle of mistrust that threatens both their identities. But these are also novels of great lyrical excitement and beauty β in the Parisian street cries, the Vinteuil concert and Proustβs virtuoso description of Venice. Above all, these two works deal with the theme of the explosion and impact of memory that runs throughout In Search of Lost Time, pointing the reader towards its resolution.
