Camille Timeline and Summary

Camille is a frail, sickly child whose mother constantly showers him with attention. Nobody is surprised when he grows up to be a spoiled brat. Except maybe his mom, Madame Raquin.
Thérèse and Camille tie the knot. But he feels no sexual desire toward her. Or maybe toward anyone—given that he's such a weak person and all.
Soon, Camille decides he wants to move to Paris to find a new job. When he is hired at the Orléans Railroad Company, he runs into his childhood friend Laurent.
Laurent starts sleeping with Camille's wife, Thérèse. Pretty much every time he gets the chance.
To boot, Laurent tries to drown Camille while the three are on a boat trip together. (He's a really great friend.) But before Camille goes overboard, he bites Laurent's neck.
The wound leaves Laurent with a horrible scar. (You get him, buddy.)
Camille's drowned body appears at the Morgue a week later.
After his death, Camille exerts a much more powerful influence over Thérèse and Laurent. The two imagine his ghost is haunting them every night, and are never able to rekindle their feelings for each other.
