Does his plea make more sense if we imagine the Baroness as a doppelganger of Albertine? He selects the "Baroness" from a wide variety of "types" of nude women at the party, much as a man does when choosing a mate. She approaches him, warning of danger and then offering herself. Isn't there a wish fulfilled by her death if we imagine her as a double for Albertine? Is his search for the Baroness Fridolin's sublimation of his perceived loss of Albertine after her confession?Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112424165249241547noreply@blogger.com
