Alongside the jealous lovers from À la recherche du temps perdu, Swann and Charlus, many of Régnier’s characters are driven mad by love. When it comes to love, we thus find lechers and rapists, masochists, sodomites, homosexuals, and, lastly, suicidal people, who could have filled the “Dictionnaire des maniaques” that Régnier called for in a letter to Gide.
