Why was Rosa attracted to Marcel?
I understand there are many similarities between the two men, and Rosa wanted them to be alike, but Marcel is, in my opinion, no better than Paul. Both seem detached, they seem to have drifted aimlessly in life. Marcel is working while he is talking to Paul - a job that appears to be a checker for a newspaper. Marcel is not a writer or painter, though he seems to have more of a purpose than Paul, who, I believe, let the hotel go to seed. Both have sexual diseases - Paul had picked up a venereal disease that makes him unable to have kids and Marcel has some kind of herpes on the lips. Any ideas?
