In the House / int_3b4185fb	comment	Stalker Without A Crush: Claude stalked the Artoles last year. He watched them in their house from a bench in the park. (At that time, he did not seem to be attracted to Esther yet, he just wanted to watch the life of a normal family.)

Yet, he quickly figures out that they have some problems. Esther, in particular, is bored with her life and probably takes antidepressants. This explains why she is receptive to Claude's advances.

In the House / int_b1e8a3b3	comment	Coming of Age Story: Subverted. Germain asks Claude if he intends to write a Bildungsroman. Obviously, this is not the purpose of Claude's writings. Yet, the film does show the evolution of Claude's romantic relationship with Esther and friendly relationship with Rapha Junior, but unlike in coming of age stories, the protagonist does not learn anything over the course of the story. He seems to be a natural born manipulator, who understands very well the others' feelings from the start.
