La fuggitiva (Alla ricerca del tempo perduto Vol. 6)

The way he intertwines memory with present feelings is so intricate. I'm curious whether this was based on personal experiences or purely literary invention.

Some parts felt very meditative, almost like a stream of consciousness. Was this intentional to emphasize the narrator's inner state?

The detailed social nuances added so much depth. I wonder if Proust drew from personal observations or societal commentary of his time.
