Fangen 2 by Marcel Proust
A jealous narrator tries to possess and control a young woman he loves, keeping her close in his Paris apartment and obsessively monitoring her behavior; his surveillance, mistrust and attempts at domination reveal the insecurities, self-deceptions and social anxieties that underlie his passion, and the ensuing jealousy, guilt and loss force him into painful reflection on memory, desire and the costs of trying to make a loved one into an object of possession.
