"As he delivers himself from them, the narrator evokes the errors that he committed; he is convinced that at the end of his clarification, he will firmly experience a state of happiness that he has intermittently seen hints of. But when, to draw an end to his journey, the narrator adjoins to the réconstitution of Lost Time, the hymn to the joy that is Time Regained, he is no longer the one who conceived the triumph. He is marked by the horrors of the war. From that point, isn't it delusional to hold the expression of a juvenile hope in literature as a victory?"
