Jules / 祖

Jules is the German friend and husband figure in [[JulesAndJim|《祖与占》 / Jules and Jim]] as discussed in 108.祖与占：爱与不爱，巴黎就在那里（耸肩）. The episode presents him first as an outsider in Paris, less romantically successful than [[JimJulesAndJim|Jim]], then as the man who marries [[CatherineJulesAndJim|Catherine]], loses control of the marriage, and eventually asks Jim to love and marry Catherine if that lets Jules remain near her.

The source gives Jules the clearest arc in the three-person story. He begins with possessiveness and conventional sexual judgment, but after war and marital collapse he gradually separates love from ownership. That does not make him triumphant; it makes him the surviving witness to the failed freedom of the relationship and to Catherine and Jim’s deaths.
