Fictional elaboration of childhood's memory on the writing deviation of Marcel Proust's In search of lost ti

Abstract

This paper intends to investigate the possibility of a previous elaboration of Montjouvain's scene, the scene with homossexual, sadism and profanity elements, observed by the narrator of In search of lost time, by Marcel Proust. This scene, highlighted as being the writing deviation original scene of the work, is secretly observed in Swann's way. However, it is necessary to reflect upon two later scenes: the one that takes place in Guermantes's patio and the one that happens in Balbec's room, in Sodom and Gomorrah. Thus, in addition to the primarily intended investigation, ,  it isalso intended to analyze  theinfluence of the Montjouvain’s scene on the elaboration of the other scenes, being the analysis guided by the effects of the probable original scene on the narrator’s behavior’s deviation and, later, on the deviation of his writing elaboration, that happens, effectively, in The Prisoner and in The Fugitive.
