In Flaubert’s “The Legend of St. Hospitator”, we see how the charcters’ dreams and illusions come true, but what is more amazing is how they come true illusions. In the beginning of the story, Flaubert decribes the kingdom from top of the castle and works him self down. This is a clue to the reader for Julian’s destiny.

Then the next day a gypsy came to his father and told him that Julian would one day be a great and powerful warrior. This was his father’s fantasy! Both, his mother and father had been told what they wanted to hear. But no one ever asked Julian what he wanted. During his childhood Julian was taught the holy scriptures and was taught how to have courage.
