Answer 3

the main theme of Maupassant's works revolve around provincial, simple life. The subject may be love, death, work. A number of stories are set in Normandy. In most of the stories the author will throw some light on a mundane or unremarquable event, and make it the point of interest. The most fantastic theme is used in 'le Horla', in which the hero has strange visions that others cannot understand.

Answer 4

The distance that people place between perceived insiders and outsiders is the basic theme in the plays of Parisian playwright, performer and director Molière (January 15, 1622 - February 17, 1673).

Specifically, for example, that distance may be economic, such as through hoarding money, not sharing and perpetuating a cycle of poverty for many and prosperity for few in "L'Avare" ("The Miser"). It may be linguistic, such as in putting on airs over accents and ways of expressing oneself in "Les Précieuses Ridicules" ("The Pretentious Young Ladies"). Or that distance may be religious, such as by playing the spiritual hypocrite in pretending to care about others but only acting for oneself in "Tartuffe." Or it may be social, such as by training to be a doctor but working as a money-grubbing quack in "Le Médecin Malgré Lui" ("The Mock Doctor").
