Some people will disagree, but I just worry that the end message ends up being “hold on, it will get better” when there needed to be a real statement of “horrible things have happened to you and you are struggling and let’s get you some professional help.” Even an end note to this affect would be good.

Improvements had been made and Proust, like his main character in Swann was accepted into some high circles of French Society. Marcel Proust was of Jewish descent in a time when anti-Semitiism was widespread in Europe. These are the qualities which make it a classic of not only French Literature, but of World Literature as well. For it’s time it was very progressive, even bordering on vulgarity. It’s frank discussion of sex and sexuality has been well documented. Much has been written about Swann in Love. French Literature would never be the same. It was the first novel of Marcel Proust’s monumental elegy to the Belle Epoque In Search of Lost Time.

The traditional elements established in popular horror tales at the time are followed, but critical reception has been mixed. The story is especially effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many of Poe's stories which are aided by the supernatural.
