Women’s Condition in Maupassant’s Narrative: A Study of "Une vie", "Bel- Ami" and "Fort comme la mort"
Keywords:
Maupassant, woman, condition, stereoscopic vision, social context.
Abstract
This article aims to present Maupassant’s views on the feminine universe in Une vie, Bel-Ami and Fort comme la mort, set in nineteenth century French society. Several core subjects will be addressed in this essay: the legal and social feminine condition; the female’s sexual education, pervasive in Maupassant’s writing; and finally, an analysis of Maupassant’ stereoscopic vision. This will help us understand his characters and determine the role of women in the social context of that period.Downloads
