| Summary | "Œuvres complètes de Guy de Maupassant - volume 15" by Guy de Maupassant is a collection of literary works written in the late 19th century. This volume prominently features the short story "Monsieur Parent," which delves into the complexities of family, love, and betrayal through the life of a modest rentier named Parent. The narrative explores the tension in his marriage and the turmoil caused by the potential infidelity of his wife, Henriette, creating an emotional landscape that examines loyalty, fatherhood, and societal expectations. The opening of "Monsieur Parent" introduces us to the central character, Monsieur Parent, as he watches his small son, Georges, play in a public park while grappling with the domineering nature of his wife. As the scene unfolds, it becomes clear that Parent is a man caught between affection for his son and the stifling authority of his spouse. The initial interactions depict a family's fraught dynamics set against the backdrop of societal norms. Parent's growing anxiety about his wife's fidelity and his relationship with their child begins to surface, setting the stage for the emotional conflict that will intensify as the story progresses. His internal struggle is highlighted as he navigates life with a mixture of love, fear, and uncertainty, foreshadowing the turmoil to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
