Lost, Breton and The Invention of Morel

After reading the second half of "The Invention of Morel" and watching the Lost episode Dave, I saw a clear similarity between the two. "The Invention of Morel" completely changes in the second part from the first part. In the second part we come to realize along with the fugitive that the people that he is seeing, including the woman he loves, Faustine, are not really there because they are recordings off of a machine. Although this fazes the fugitive for a little bit, he learns how to work machine in order to insert himself into it with Faustine to make it seem as though the two are in love. This reminded me of Hurley on Lost, because his conscious also started to see someone that wasn't there, Dave. In Breton's "The Surrealist Manifesto," he brings up the idea of surrealism as a juxtaposition of two different realities. This ideas in a way reminded me of both Lost and "The Invention of Morel," because Hurley brought together the reality of being on the island and the reality he thought he saw with Dave and he brought the two together to form an eerie union. The same can be said with the fugitive and his reality of being a fugitive on a deserted island and the reality he saw with Morel and Faustine.
