Le Récit et ses pouvoirs d’agentivité dans La Ficelle de Maupassant
Abstract
This article proposes an analysis of the narratives in the realist short story La Ficelle by Guy de Maupassant. A focus on the opening story of the town crier is convenient. Indeed, the examination focuses precisely on the relationships of force that link the two competing narratives; the collective narrative and the individual narrative. The first refers to the guilt-inducing discourse of the peasant community accusing M. Hauchecorne of stealing the lost wallet. The second that of the main character designates the defensive narrative that takes the form of a plea for social rehabilitation. The diagnosis essentially aims at the structural and structuring functioning of the two narratives and their social and psychological implications on the intimate being of M. Hauchecorne; scapegoat of the collective discursive consciousness.
