The narrative centers around Saint Anthony, an early Christian monk and hermit, as he faces various temptations and struggles with his faith during his prolonged solitude in the Egyptian desert. The opening of the text introduces us to Saint Anthony living in isolation, contemplating his past and the challenges he faces in his current life. We witness his deep struggles with temptation, both physical and spiritual, as he recalls memories of his family and the life he left behind. Flaubert vividly portrays his internal conflict through the character's yearning for comfort and companionship, introducing themes of temptation, suffering, and the search for divine truth. The scene captures the stark beauty of the desert environment and sets the stage for the revelations and trials that Saint Anthony will encounter throughout the narrative.
