Albertine
The narrator's beloved and prisoner of interpretation: near at hand, obsessively watched, and never securely knowable.

Interpretation
Albertine is one of the largest and most persistently negative figures in the corpus, with her strongest shaping concentrated in the prison and disappearance chapters.
Why Albertine Is Distinctive
- Albertine has a consistently negative arc within the work, whether we are speaking of status, intimacy, or her place among other characters.
- Her force comes less from social rank than from the narrator's failure to possess what he studies: proximity becomes uncertainty, captivity, and disappearance.
