Flore
Level-crossing keeper
A level-crossing keeper on the Paris-Le Havre railway line in La Bête humaine. Wild, strong, and passionately in love with Jacques Lantier, she cannot accept that he loves Séverine instead. Her response — causing a catastrophic train crash — is one of the novel's most terrifying moments, and her subsequent suicide is oddly magnificent.
Gardienne de passage à niveau dans La Bête humaine. Amoureuse de Jacques, elle provoque un accident ferroviaire catastrophique avant de se suicider.
Tall, sun-browned, with the free stride of someone who spends her days in the open air and the untamed look of a woman who has never been socialised.
