Self discovery
Self-centered character always - each new discovery is a painful revelation to Pierre- but of himself, more than of the family.

When he realises that his bad behaviour at Jean's party, he drowns himself in alcohol.
the hint of the fille de brasserie that Jean must be maréchal's son stuns him- but only because it theeatened his own image of his mother

Once engulfed in the dog, Pierre will never be able to emerge.
