WillowWannabe	Proust and Echo Apr 7 2009, 12:55 AM EDT Proust's monumental In Search of Lost Time has a great many parallels to Dollhouse. Proust's book is based on the premise that a person is a collection of memories--without those memories, there is no person. Proust explores the mind's memories, and what triggers memories, in his huge autobiography. His rambling searches are a great deal like Echo's mind, since there is always a possibility that pictures or items could trigger Caroline (like it did in the university episode). The greatest parallel, though, is the sense that in neither Proust nor Dollhouse do you get the sense that you can ever remember everything, or that you can ever truly find who you are.
