Study theme "A victory weakens a people, a defeat in another wake up," says Antoine de Saint Exupery. From reading Night Flight, you will show the correctness of this thought.
Introduction
The problem is at the end of Night Flight . It should be noted that these are mostly words that precede this statement: "... victory ... defeat, these words have no meaning. Life is below these images and images already preparing new "page 187. From then we can think the issue is resolved is whether the action - And its result - now has a meaning without its becoming. In other words, that victory or defeat ultimately strengthens a people.
One wonders then how is perceived victory through Night Flight, but also why the narrator, especially after the tragic death of Fabio, paradoxically asserts that defeat a wake up people.
I. Understanding the victory
1. The victory is little
Night Flight deals victory so amazing because it is often trivialized, ephemeral. Indeed in the letter Saint-Exupery Andre Gide quoted by the preface reads, "I just passed a small feat." To say the low value that the author himself gives the victory. Therefore he adds: "Never more I admired a man who would only be brave. "
The victory in this novel is, apparently he never learned. And perhaps it is there that the nobility and grandeur of the pilots. Thus the narrator argues that when Fabian "wins the lights," he has "the feeling of defeat" (p. 23), but in reality it does not conquer. This impression came also the pilot who thought Pellerin be "well earned" his comrades (p. 34).
2. Lose a battle, not war
If arrival is seen as a victory, River believes that "the arrival of the aircraft would never be the victory that ended a war" (p. 28). But war against whom, against what? Otherwise against bad weather: thunderstorms, storms, hurricane, night, short against nature or death. Yet when
River welcomes Pellerin and "How did you manage? "(P. 42), it almost apologetic, because for him, this victory may mean little to him even if he tells how he obtained the obstacles of the sky, on pages 42 and 43.
By cons, in Fabian, the victory was fleeting, and we lost almost immediately after, we won!
Marches, risers, won territories which should be made "(p. 69)
II. The sense of defeat in Night Flight
1. What defeat?
In Night Flight, the victory is most responsible for the River is to be able to defeat the fear that is in itself. So he told his driver twice "I saved him from fear" (p. 102 and p. 103). Besides the man must have faith, commitment and courage, because the battle has begun, against death. So the man must be motivated by the desire to win, that desire can be effective only when we had a defeat. That's why the narrator says that a defeat a wake up people. And before the arrival of sudden death, that of Fabian, River exclaims, "Death, voila! . But this defeat quotes Fabien is synonymous with victory in that only "action delivers from death" (p. 164) since, by its action, the pilot becomes eternal, lasting.
2. The victory is the loser wins
We retain therefore that in this work, the defeat is not dying, but rather give up. To cite a defeat, it has the half-turn of a pilot who is afraid of bad weather, on page 101. Nevertheless, there are times when the will and courage to be disarmed and that only luck can save the driver. So is it that Fabian "Calculate its opportunities" (p. 110) but who played who loses wins, because even eternal death Fabien remained by his action and the drama did not stop the planes flying. The phrase that summarizes the strength of defeat is probably what justifies the subject are: "The failures strengthen the strong" (p. 119).
Conclusion
It was, as we have seen, always about greatness, nobility, courage in the novel. It is true that victory or defeat n'on not make sense, but rather the feeling that one has to perform the action that makes the victory or defeat. So the death of Fabian, which has not stopped the march of the other planes can not, from River, constitute a positive defeat. Besides the novel ends with a chant organ that goes, a hymn to the glory of the hero and Night Flight ends with the word "Victory."
"River - The big river - the victorious, bringing his heavy victory" (p. 188).
