莫泊桑三大短篇小说(莫泊桑的三大篇小说)?

1. "The Necklace" is a story about Matilda, the wife of a small government official, who borrowed a diamond necklace from a friend to show off her beauty at a party. Unexpectedly, the necklace was lost on the way home. She had no choice but to borrow money to buy a new necklace to return to her friend. However, to repay the debt, she had to live frugally, take on odd jobs, and work hard for ten years. In the end, she found out that the necklace she borrowed was actually a fake diamond necklace. This story is heartbreaking and makes readers feel sorry for the protagonist's ten years of hard work gone to waste. The story portrays the tragedy of ordinary families at that time. Matilda's misfortune was not due to her personal fault, but rather revealed the limitations of women and their husbands' thinking in this social class. The tragedy of the necklace is still being played out today in the mansions of government officials, the homes of ordinary people, and the slums around the world.

2. "The Ball of Tallow" is a mid-length novel by Maupassant, which made him famous and became one of his representative works. The novel describes a French carriage during the 1870 Franco-Prussian War, which was detained by a Prussian officer as it was leaving the enemy zone. The officer insisted that a woman on the carriage, nicknamed Ball of Tallow, spend the night with him, otherwise the carriage could not pass. Ball of Tallow, out of patriotism, refused, but some of the influential passengers on the carriage urged her to sacrifice herself for the safety of the others. Reluctantly, Ball of Tallow agrees. However, the next morning when the carriage departs, the same passengers who had begged her, now shun and refuse to speak with her. This brilliant satire short story leaves the reader feeling heavy-hearted. Despite being a lowly prostitute, Ball of Tallow shares her food from the beginning and expresses her patriotism. Faced with the Prussian officer, she does not humble herself, but maintains her dignity and repeatedly refuses his unreasonable demands. In the end, she decides to sacrifice herself so that the nuns can go and treat the wounded French soldiers. How noble Ball of Tallow is compared to the despicable upper classes who try to use her.

3. "My Uncle Jules" tells the story of Uncle Jules, who squandered all his wealth when he was young and became known as a "Jinx." Later, Jules went to America and made a fortune, becoming everyone's "Lucky Star." The family of Philippe longed for Jules, hoping that he would return with money, and the second daughter found her fiancé because of this expectation. They traveled to the Isle of Jersey, but on their way, they saw a poor oyster seller who looked just like Jules. Mr. Philippe was confirmed by the captain. The dream of becoming rich vanished, and their dream of entering high society became a fantasy. The marriage of the second daughter was also in danger. Hope was shattered, and Jules became their "terror" again. They hastened to avoid the much-anticipated "good news" and returned home with a sense of disillusionment. When I learned this lesson in junior high school, I felt a coldness that I cannot express in my heart. When Jules was at his poorest, he lost even his dignity, as his brother-in-law and sister trampled on his character. But when they learned that he had become successful, they changed their opinion of him, and Jules once again became their "good luck charm." Ten years later, when they reunited, there was no tearful embrace between siblings, only disgust and disdain from Philippe and his wife. How much is the bond of sibling love worth in their eyes?
