| Summary | "Parent úr" by Guy de Maupassant is a novella written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Parent, a middle-aged man who is deeply devoted to his young son, Gyuri. However, his love is overshadowed by his troubled marriage and fears regarding his wife, Henriette's fidelity, which are exacerbated by interactions with their maid Julcsa. The novella paints a portrait of domestic tension and emotional turmoil as Parent grapples with the possibility that he may not be Gyuri's biological father. The opening of the novella introduces a picturesque garden scene where Parent lovingly observes his son building sandcastles. However, this serene moment contrasts sharply with Parent's internal turmoil stemming from his loveless marriage and the disdainful treatment he receives from his wife. The narrative suggests a looming conflict, as Parent rushes home to face his wife, apprehensive about her possible infidelity, especially with his friend, Limousin. The first chapter sets the stage for a dramatic exploration of jealousy and betrayal, leading to increasingly intense confrontations within the family. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
