Character dossier
Mme Verdurin
A substantial recurring presence whose aggregate treatment stays negative across all three lenses, especially in Swann-centered and later wartime material.

Interpretation
Mme Verdurin is one of the clearest broadly negative salon figures in the corpus, with losses in advantage, prestige, and inclusion all reinforcing rather than offsetting one another.
Why Mme Verdurin Is Distinctive
- She is a useful contrast case to aristocratic figures whose rank can stay high even when scenes turn against them.
- Her chapter drivers show how one salon world can define a long-lasting social profile that still echoes later in the novel.
