Des rats, par terre, s'enfuient. Il abaisse lentement ses yeux vers les flammes qui montent puis ajoute: Furthermore, this remark lends to the stage direction a particular voice.
In this sense, this expostulation at beginning of the stage direction brings forward a decidedly populist voice that serves to verify the lamentation of the hermit.
As such, in tone, it effectively leavens the high seriousness of the Gymnosophist's mystical lesson by casting it in the light of an attraction at a fair. This, of course, tends to undermine both the pathos of the lamentation and the seriousness of the scene. Organized in three short paragraphs, the first of these didascalic references appears to be traditional in its function, indicating only the tone of voice of the Gymnosophist in the paragraph that immediately precedes the stage direction: If read aloud, it is also remarkable poetic in its rhythmicity.
It insists on an evolving, dynamic scene of shriveling leaves, fleeing rats, and mounting flames that threaten to engulf the speaker, in the manner of the pre-cinematic, moving tableaux of the diorama. Even within the framework of the didascalia, the contrast could not be more striking.
Against this highly visual and evolving scene of impending destruction, which functions as a visual reminder of divine punishment for the fierce pride of the ascetic Gymnosophist and by extension of Antoine , the first stage direction emphasizes the blandness of the hermit's demeanor. If the monotone voice of the Gynmosophist provides the narration for an unfolding scene that is calculated to inspire awe, the first didascalic reference draws our attention to the hermit's detachment from the pathos of his own scene: But his voice is monotone.
The effect of detachment is further amplified by the very style of Flaubert's phrasing: This terse narrative style effectively isolates these sentences from each other: A staccato rhythmicity of the phrasing adds to this impression. These effects are carried out on the visual plane as well, in didascalia. That is to say, the Gymnosophist's voice is indicated on the first direction; the second direction is purely visual, showing us a dynamic tableau of shriveling leaves and fleeing rats; finally, the third direction returns to the Gymnosophist, suggesting not his voice, but only his gestures as he lowers his eyes in preparation for his next statement.
This spatial and stylistic difference creates a kind of pre-cinematic effect through which a disembodied voice comes to narrate a moving image the first and second stage directions , concluding with the final focus directed toward the Gymnosophist, who lowers his eyes as he prepares to speak again. That is, they tend to deflate the dramatic force both of the hermit's admonition to St.
Anthony and the dramatic violence of the impending punishment, investing the scene with a comedic quality. The very presentation of the narrative, therefore, mocks expectations relative to form, perception and knowledge, which are of course the precise points raised by the scolding Gymnosophist in his admonition to Antoine: Additionally, he abandons textual conventions associated with of the theatre, such as overt didascalic references and direct, typographic identification of which character is speaking at a given moment.
The text, however, remains highly theatrical. Other forms of theatre are clearly manifest in a number of Flaubert's earlier works, where we have seen direct allusions to the medieval mystery play with its episodic tableaux, an evocation of the barker's voice at an open-air fair, and the suggestion of pre-cinematic techniques exploited in the dioramas and panoramas. As Jacques Neefs has so eloquently described this novel: Sunlight illuminates the scene brightly.
The details that animate this opening scene are calculated to evoke the impression of realism, but only on the surface. Indeed, closer scrutiny of the language of these opening paragraphs reveals a studied emphasis on the artificial, suggesting a stage set.
Indeed, with the initial Parisian setting, which is supplanted from chapter II forward by the Norman setting of Chavignolles, the journey to the country faintly suggests a journey back to the roots of vaudeville: The doubling effect of their meeting is subsequently mirrored in their gestures, all of which are coordinated to mimic the exaggerated synchrony and therefore comic absurdity of a vaudeville sketch: At this moment, they break into dialogue as they register amazement at having had the same idea.
But the received idea of a destined reunion that is implied in the notion of finding one's other half a notion of which Emma also discovers the false promise in Madame Bovary is undermined by the staging of this exposition, which suggests an aleatory, not a predestined meeting of the protagonists. Indeed, instead of inaugurating a period of quiet retreat from the city, their move to their provincial residence in Chavignolles ruptures the relative calm of their lives as copyists. In Chavignolles, their ambition to attain greatness becomes an obsession that impels the protagonists to distinguish themselves in a panoply of domains, the sum of which would constitute a summary of emerging disciplines and trends that punctuate the nineteenth century, from agricultural developments, to the cultivation of romantically inspired landscapes, to archeology, the rediscovery of the Middle Ages, etymological research, and so forth.
Although undertaken fervently, their projects will conclude as the bewilderment engendered by encounters with competing expert opinion gradually amount to insoluble aporia; disillusionment ensues, followed by abandonment of the project in hand, but the adoption of a new project as a new path to glory occurs to them. Indeed, they tend to give equal weight to whichever text they are reading or whichever opinion they happen to encounter.
For example, at the suggestion of their Parisian friend and correspondent, professor Dumouchel who wishes to excite their interest in geology , they read the Lettres of Bertrand, the Discours of Cuvier, and decide to undertake geological excavations in search of prehistoric origins. Again, each source is treated with equally urgent importance: In this respect, they provide an eloquent illustration of Flaubert's remark to Louis Bouilhet, in his letter from Damas 4 September Nous sommes un fil et nous voulons savoir la trame Indeed, the discipline in which they hope to achieve greatness is less important than the objective, as is evident by their cyclical pursuit and abandonment of domains of expertise.
Nevertheless, they are astute consumers according to the standards that Flaubert is targeting. Ever aware of the potential weight of public opinion, they take particular care to inform themselves of what notable personages regard as recognized opinion on a given subject, without, however, extending their inquiries beyond the initial recommendations.
Each chapter is composed of multiple episodes that are related in many instances only tangentially: Pursuit of their desires and passing interests presents them with a vast array of competing voices. They listen, assuredly, to the discourses of their day, whether from a guidebook or from the texts of Cuvier and Bertrand. But it does not arrive ex nihilo. Indeed, Flaubert's poetics of discontinuity belongs to a steady line of interest that is manifest throughout his work. This, of course, suggests that Flaubert writing some 14 years later was certainly not alone in his consideration of the impact of material abundance on consciousness.
Similarly, his correspondences with Louis Bouilhet 4 September and with Louise Colet 16 September declare, respectively, a particular interest in the inconclusive, and a belief that the future of art might lie in a gradual dissolution of currently recognized forms:
