Las inseparables by Simone de Beauvoir

Insights from Las inseparables

“I was nothing but a gaze, a mind, a memory.”

Sylvie’s devotion to Andrée feels so heavy. She watches her friend suffer under strict rules and can't change a thing.

“God did not want me to be happy on this earth.”

The way Andrée’s mother uses religion to control her is terrifying. Every natural impulse gets turned into a sin.

Andrée accidentally cutting her foot with an axe just to feel something was a lot. It shows how desperate she was for an escape.

“She was the only one who counted.”

Sylvie realizes her own freedom is a gift her friend never gets. She feels guilty for having a life that Andrée is denied.
