a nineteenth-century Hamlet: Marius Boisson,
Les attentats anarchistes sous la Troisième République
(Paris, 1931), pp. 158–59, n. 1. Another interpretation, one shared by Fortuné, was that Émile's acts constituted an "indirect suicide" because he never recovered from having fallen in love with Élisa Gauthey (R. Gressent,
L'Humanité Nouvelle,
first year, Paris 1897, t. I, vol. 1, p. 631). Yet Émile struggled to get away after the Café Terminus bombing, in order to kill again.
