Jewelry
Writers in their works, carefully describing circumstance in great detail, can influence reader’s interpretation of an action as moral or immoral: A prostitute can be represented as a noble lady, and the most upright woman as an angry witch. The narrator can make a reader feel nothing for the victim, but rather for the killer. In his short story “Jewelry”, Guy de Maupassant closely describes an emotional condition, physical condition, and the surrounding people of the major character M. Lantin, justifying him in front of the readers, even though M. Lantin breaks man’s concept of morality. M. Lantin’s emotional condition influences his view of the life, his image of happiness and luck. After six years of boundless happiness in his marriage, emotionally and spiritually destroyed by his loss, M. Lantin is crying about his dead wife. The author squeezes the reader’s hearts by describing the suffering, which M. Lantin goes through in his life: “He wept from morning until night ”(de Maupassant 16). When M. Lantin finds out that his happiness in his marriage was a mirage, he loses all his beliefs and meaning to life, but still, Guy de Maupassant does not let his protagonist die
