Résumé anglais François de Labriolle, The failure in the works of I. A Gončarov. Like many other impotents, Gončarov pictured love as an absolute, appearing as the real target of his heroes. All of them want to love, dream of love and suffer because of love. Love and passion are ever present in this work which appears so cold and so controlled. Ivan Aleksandrovič idealizes love to make more certain of his heroes' failure. They love a woman as an incarnation of womanhood because they can love only the abstract. Creations born in a diseased spirit must share in the same misfortunes as their creator: they cannot know the joys of a real reciprocated love. When the ideal seems to become accessible, the heroes find themselves stricken with an ailment similar to that of Gončarov, but in their case purely psychological (otherwise what a confession!), they give up, they flee.
