Chauvin OlympiasChauvin
Synopsis:
Nicolas Chauvin, of chauvinism notoriety, returns from Waterloo to receive honors from Napoleon, whose charisma engenders a personified alter-ego of Chauvin (designated as the ideological IChauvin). Chauvin returns home. His family welcomes him, but he cannot put his experiences in the Napoleonic wars behind him, nor escape the nagging of IChauvin, and suffers a conflict between his domestic role and his sense of an ideological mission. He travels around France, carrying his monomania everywhere. at a theater in Paris he interrupts a play with his ranting, but he still suffers from irresolution. Finally, IChauvin subsumes his domestic self. In his new incarnation, he abandons the distraught wife to march into the future without them.
