"La prisionera" is the fifth volume of Proust's masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time". In this book, the narrator delves into obsessive love, exploring the nature of jealousy and love suffering. Albertine, the protagonist's second great love, is an enigmatic and seductive being, but also an inexhaustible source of unknowns and contradictions. Marcel takes Albertine to Paris, where they live as lovers in the company of their servants. However, their love remains alive only through jealousy, becoming cold and indifferent when there are no suspicions. Marcel is tormented by the certainty that Albertine will abandon him for another woman and regain her freedom, especially when he senses her lies and vices.
