NIGHT FLIGHT
I. Summary of the work
II. Study of characters
III. Story structure
The organization guides the story chapters to a rather complex structure: the moments of history can be double or even triple. However, we can isolate the main unit highlighted by the title - that is to say the flight that night - and find a simple and linear.
Briefly summarize the structure as well: the text begins with a unit (an aircraft in operation), then this unit explodes into three units (three aircraft), independent of each other, and finally return to a unit (a plane ).
It emerges sum All in all, an infinite number of units to which the narrator and the characters allude.
The main unit that organizes the narrative is divided into three stages: initial situation, adventures and final situation.
The initial situation
The novel begins "in medias res" by Fabien shows that the narrator in his usual occupation: control (p. 17). It comes from the extreme south (Tierra del Fuego) of Argentina and headed for Buenos Aires in the evening.
- a ten-minute landing in San Julian;
- entry into the quiet night.
In fact there were two other planes in the sky: that of Paraguay, a driver goes to Buenos Aires, and Pellerin, who had left Chile in the west. All three aircraft postal on a roll, and their arrival is expected before midnight (p. 27).
The narrator asks the "possible narratives" as follows:
"Three drivers, each in the back of a cover ..." (p. 27) The adventures
Three planes are launched: their maneuvers depend time - not only at night, but also and especially the weather: thunderstorms, storms, hurricanes, cyclones ...
mail landed in Chile (P. 33). The pilot, his struggle in the cyclone. The cyclone of the Pacific - note the oxymoron in the idea - never exceeds the Andes, "said River.
- Chapter VII: to form clouds, storm, by far, is launching an attack;
- Chapter XII: Fabien and radio are identified: they have reached "the point of no return," the Bermuda triangle of sky
the South: Commodoro to a storm;
North: Bahia Blanca, a western storm in less than twenty minutes, the North still
before Bahia Blanca, Trelew saw a Hurricane thirty meters seconds West and gusts of rain ;
San Antonio, and a wind storm.
Fabien "thought he was identified" (p. 113)
- Chapter XV: The crew of Patagonia is alone, without adjuvant, abandoned to the winds and rain.
- Chapter XVI: yet he manages to stabilize, and even Fabien gloated: "- It gets better! "(P. 144)
- Chapter XVII: The aircraft maintains its stability, but it is still stuck in the sky. A fuel problem posting a rebound.
- Chapter XX: two possibilities: gas exhausted or failure: in both cases, the outcome will be fatal.
The final situation
After the disappearance of mail Patagonia, eyes are turning to the other plane (while the other unit). A walking and tragic end of mail from Patagonia, contrasts that of Asuncion.
The situation arises as Part of opposite points, the betterment of the Assumption is the counterpoint to the degradation of the fate of Fabian.
- Chapter XX: tragic end Fabian and his radio: death of the hero, a hero.
- Chapter XXII: After euphoria: "This flight announced pleased by his telegrams, and a thousand other flights so happy. "(P. 181)
- Chapter XXIII: A single unit takes over and we return to the initial situation (new). E-Europe is revived in the direction of Toulouse, that is to say, for a still greater distance. For the first time, we are shown a departure airplane, as if the action had begun. It was at the Chapter X, where a shortage is created in the woman driver of that letter.
IV. Time and space
Long seen as a way to approach a text, time and space have been through the history of literary criticism, avatars considerable. Their salaries are part of the originality of a literary production and help in deciphering the message which he either.
The proof in the book as object, writing occupies a space (equivalent to the number of pages) and any reader devotes a time to pull the information commensurate with its level of understanding.
Ignoring time and space, is to deny the very existence.
A. Study of Time
A story is told. But history? And for what?
Let's outset that it is the history of driver (let us for the time of this generic word) and the history of an action (if not actions - choices that will clarify later). This story
(Or "story", we will use that word now) is part time and dilutes somewhere - real or imagined.
The study of time in Night Flight is in many ways important to the lighting of the action in the text. In the novel, we must distinguish the length of history (not more than one night, as noted in the title, for that matter) than that of the narrative. This dichotomy made at the time called a fragmented approach. We are faced with two stories, and therefore two periods. A first narrative that lasts one night, and a second story whose time - impossible to define - and the action is diluted in the first narrative, or rather depend on it.
1. Narrative time
The duration of the narrative barely more than one night.
From the analysis of the title of the book, we come to a conclusion that everything was tied around the couple of words that are quite supportive and night flight. Unravel the fabric of small title can allow easy understanding of the action that unfolds in the text. For example, believe that the main character or hero is Fabien, because firstly it is the first named, and because his death coincided with the end of the novel on the other - which Moreover, only an impression for a spirit impulsive and not what he really is.
The title therefore Night Flight no article can take action in its universality, at least in the area of control (control action). As for the word night, adding some nuances out of the ordinary action.
2. The duration of the narrative
The first narrative (cf. Sufra) starts "officially" in the evening:
"And the pilot Fabien, who brought the Far South cancers Buenos Aires, Patagonia's mail, acknowledged the approach Evening with the same signs that the waters of a port ... "(p. 17)
It ends with the departure of Europe mail to two fifteen or twenty of the night. At the end we only know that the end of the action was announced by the head of the company, River, so peremptory
"It is two hours. E Asunción land at ten o'clock ten. Take off the mail to Europe at quarter past two. " (P. 178)
- The action will stop after she?
We will soon find out, especially since River will direct that mail from Europe to take off at quarter past two.
The launch took place, and "In a minute it (the plane) crosses Buenos Aires" and "within five minutes the wireless sets have alerted the stops" (p. 188)
The duration of action of the novel to finish approximately two twenty minutes, but she survives "really" to the text.
a) backtracking
They are common in the novel. It will not make an exhaustive study whether a spectral, but give a panel lighting and a few signs to find them easily in the text. What you should immediately retain in addition to this is that these flashbacks, we still call analepsis slow the pace of the narrative.
b) The summary
The summary is another variant of the story. The narrator uses to report, or better to revive the past. His method finds its fullness in telegraph messages.
River and its past
The narrator constantly deflowers River's past. Its past is linked to that of Leroux, a man may be in the same time as being an old foreman who had worked for forty (p. 29) It is as if his life echoed that of Leroux. So he said, following the opinion of the old love: This is (...) my life is done. " (P. 30)
His past music sounds already heard (p. 76), and he remembers his "Ten years of experience and work" (p. 77) This idea, he also continues:
" so much work to achieve that! I am fifty years, fifty years I have filled my life, I am trained, I struggled, I changed the course of events ... "(p. 83)
Etc.
Robineau and her past
His past is exposed through the objects he spreads himself before Pellerin. By this he displays his intimacy (p. 59). The narrator, taking over, summarizes the state of poverty corporation in which wallows Inspector (p. 60), before giving him the floor.
c) expectations
Few in the novel, they are programming, if the projections. In this sense, they are supported by the network leader, River (p. 177) Indeed, time is secondary to River: what is important is the continuation of the action:
"It is possible we do not expect to fly the aircraft in Europe ... "(P117)
Indeed, he plans to continue and he even prophesies:
" E Asunción land at two ten. Take off the mail in Europe at quarter past two. "(p 178)
Very significantly, the anticipation in the last chapter, where the action will extend beyond the duration of the novel.
" In a minute he crosses Buenos Aires and River, which resumed its fight , wants to hear. To hear him be born, scolding and vanish, not like a great army marching in the stars. "(P. 187)
River wants to" hear the unborn ", and this contrasts with the tragic event. But the emphasis here is on the future.
B. Study of space
Every action needs a space. It can not be otherwise. In Night Flight, the space is complex and varies with the outlook. It is for us to avoid the pitfalls that its fragmentation poses, study based on its usefulness in the evolution of the action.
Before going further in the analysis, point out that there are basically two macro areas: airspace and ground space. To this is added a third space which in fact is not one really, as long as it is the product of the impression, if not that of his imagination, and we call space fantasized.
must also say that Saint-Exupery here mixes a real framework, although geographically recognizable to a fictive space, imaginary. This one creates "The illusion of realism", it makes the mythic action. For
geographical space, a map will provide concrete support.
1. Airspace
His presentation does not allow a lay perplexed aviation, since it is often compared to land or sea
The plane "went from town to town, he was the shepherd of Small Town "(pp. 17-18)
" Sometimes, after a hundred miles to the uninhabited steppes sea, it crossed a farm deep, and seemed to bring back, in a swell of grass, care of human life, then he bowed wings that ship. " (P. 18) Sometimes
altitude is given to anchor the story in reality. (P. 111)
On land, the obstacles is the war in heaven, what are the elements (pp. 23, 35, 42-43, 109-114 ...)
2. The land space
Unlike airspace, land space is characterized by fragmentation: the Company, houses, cities, countries or stopovers. The Company subdividing even turn into offices, post office and field landing.
Company, is a network in the full sense of the word. There is a relationship of interdependence between places within it, and the core is the office of River.
a quote call (p. 18), a landing field (pp. 27, 33), Hotel (pp. 59-61)
offices in the city (pp. 48, 57, 58, 59, 89, 101, 152 , 175, 182, 188)
houses (p. 93) and (p. 125)
