Description

Prometheus Illbound

The work of art is the exaggeration of an idea, says Gide in the epilogue of the Prometheus Illbound. This is really the explanation of the whole book and of many other books of Gide. His world is a world of abstract ideas, under the action of which most of his characters move as marionettes. Time and space are the boards, which, with the help of our minds, have been set up by the innumerable truths of the universe as a stage for their own performances. And there we play our parts like determined, convinced, devoted and voluptuous marionettes. That is the reason why there is a determinist atmosphere in his books and that even the disinterested act appears as the reaction[6] of the mind on its own concept. Zeus, the banker, poses this disinterested act because his thought refuses or hesitates to admit it; the same thing happens with Lafcadio in the Caves du Vatican when he is on the point of murdering Amde Fleurissoire. The tyranny of ideas is the dominating force of his characters. Even his first writingswhere one finds some of his best pages, which appear to be purely lyrical explosionsuch as Les Nourritures Terrestres and Le Voyage dUrien, are really the songs of a mind which leads its life by the concept of eternal desire and detachmenta mind very near that of Nietzsche. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
