The Playwright — on Flaubert's Sentimental Education, Chapter XIV. Frederick watches Arnoux sleep with a gun angled under his arm. He imagines the death, and the fantasy descends into household expenses. The text compares him to a playwright in the agonies of composition. He enters his own fiction, is consumed by it, and exits when Arnoux wakes and offers white wine. The murder-fantasy is a fantasy about furniture. The simile hangs in the sentence like the gun hangs under Arnoux's arm — angled, loaded, and never fired.
