The reading contends that the Chevalier’s memoir may contain several invented passages with the purpose to make his life more exciting and glamour than it was. The professor disagrees with this theory and explains her point of view using few points.
First, the reading says that the Chevalier was not as wealthy as I wrote because he had to borrow a large sum of money when he was in Switzerland in order to sustain his party and gambling life. The professor contrasts this saying that he had to borrow the money because is richness was invested in estate property and he needed some to time to sell them and get the cash.
Secondly, critics think that the conversation that Chevalier had with Voltaire cannot be realistic because of the use of details that cannot be remembered at the time when it was written, many years later the conversation occurred. The professor simply explains that the details are coming from the notes that Chevalier has taken during the conversation and kept with all the other notes as he was used to doing.
Furthermore, critics cast doubts about the story of Chevalier’s escape from a prison in Italy because they think that most probably Chevalier made is way out bribing the prison’s guards, and not making a way out through a hole in the roof as Chevalier’ memoir states. The professor also contrasts this theory explaining that in the same prison there were people more influent and powerful than him that could also have bribed the guards, but they did not. In addition according to some historical records in the period after the Chevalier escape, the ceiling of his cell has been repaired, indicating that what Chevalier wrote was true.
In conclusion, the critics think that Chevalier could have lied about some events of his life, but the further information and historical details provided by the professor contrast what the critics stated.
