Live and creativity of Guy de Maupassant /part 6/

in #godflesh6 years ago

Duroa manages to capture the capture of Madeleine during one of her usual "secret" love encounters with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Laros-Mattio, and to declare her adulterous. And since Laros-Mattio is a protector of Mr. Walter, ironically, Duroa becomes the master of his previous patron. So he forcibly won his favor and secured his daughter's hand. The marriage of Duroa with the daughter of the influential Mr. Walter predicts new victories for the relentless career Bellamy. Already at the beginning of his novel, Maupassant suggests to the reader the theme and the motifs he developed as author: the rapid acquisition of a state, the achievement of public prestige by conquering enterprising and affluent women, the absorption of the delicate art of seduction, . The purposeless wandering Georges Duroa draws attention to the small coins that return him, and thinks of those big banknotes that are supposed to be overpowered in the pockets of the jackets of the successful. Later, the self-confident man remembers those lightly-accessible women like Rachel, who had once conquered "the Hussar", and is overwhelmed by the irresistible desire to possess those who are more beautiful and have much more money than himself. He understands the importance of the pride of the motif, the challenge of the skillfully curved mustache, and the play with the eyes of the man in the love adventure.

In the unfolding narrative of the novel, two distinct musical rhythms are imposed - adagio (solemnly and slowly) and allegro (buoy and hectic). They provide a peculiar musical atmosphere that brings together the three stages of Bellamy's career. The first is developed in the tempo "adagio". Taking into account this pace, the entry of the unemployed former officer into a new environment - the editorial of the La Vrancea newspaper - is being monitored. There, displaying his enviable ability to orient himself quickly, he first proves his ability as a journalist to pay for the lines he wrote. Shortly thereafter, Duroa proves that he can work as a reporter, ascends to a Lead, and a few weeks later he signs his signature under a few introductory articles. Meanwhile, he successfully penetrates into the worldly high circles and becomes a lover to Madame de Marrell. Only six months require the ambitious Bellamy to conquer a new professional and social environment. The rhythm that the narrator Maupassant perceives in tracking the second stage of Duroa's career is maintained at the allegro pace. Without breaking with Mrs. Marelle, Bellami continues her bold adventures - she marries her first protector, Mrs. Forrest, seduces Mrs. Walter's virtuous husband, and then his abstraction calculates the benefit of marrying her daughter Susan. Duroa approached his last conquest with the self-esteem of a reaping only defeating a courtier. His marriage to Susan simultaneously increases his property status and ensures his rise as a public figure.

Eventually, entering the Gotha circle, thanks to her marriage on Susan's account, the relentless Stewart Duroa enjoys universal tribute. He receives the prestigious Order of the Legion of Honor in France. The careerist who has already earned the Baron du Roy de Cantel titles at the end of the "Bell-Ami" has become a winner whose future triumph is unlikely. According to French commentators of this work of Maupassant , this is above all a novel-rebuke of careerism. It reveals both the enthusiasm of the protagonist in it and the fascinating social fever of profit and social prestige, which is believed to be the world belongs only to the powerful, that one can rise above others only by subduing them with their extraordinary existence. All the means are allowed in the struggle for erection in the already strengthened civil society. The most important thing in it is the material prosperity. The writer suggests that career development can begin with the seduction of property women, but these conquests must serve only human ambitions. He must not give anything of himself. No less good way to go up is spreading news and rumors to conquer the sensational audience. In short, in order to increase his rent and rise in the political circles, according to the philosophy of Georges Duroas, he must completely abandon his moral scruples.
