by Verlaine and his behavior, my god what a pitiful person. I actually enjoyed the times he was being abused by Rimbaud because I felt he deserved. Catching his wife's hair on fire pushing his baby's crib. Telling Rimbaud he would rather have his body than his soul, no wonder Rimbaud wanted nothing to do with him at the end.

I agree with you %100. He wanted someone to baby him rather than step up and be a responsible person. But so do many other alcoholics.

You must understand the historical context.
There was no TV, radio, media - psychology was not invented yet. The only reference for man's behavior was Catholic Taliban explanation of Christianity from the Dark Ages and Prussian education based on rationalizing the abuse.
Freud's and Charcot cases for hysteria - were based on such society - and we take for granted today's civilization and how far we have come from the darkness. At least, most of civilized countries.
