The Horla by Guy de Maupassant - Short Story Summary, Analysis, Review

[@DebMcDonald]

I love this story. DeMaupassant died in an asylum from syphilis which he could have had from birth, so this story might be autobiographical.

[@TheCodeXCantina]

Yeah, I had seen some discussion of that!

I just love hearing y’all say his name and the title! 😂 I remember reading him in high school. I think we read The Hand.

I've read this one. Maupassant is a prolific short story writer. His work is recognized by academia.

[@TheCodeXCantina]

Indeed!

I sometimes forget conversations I had a few hours ago 🤣

[@TheCodeXCantina]

Wait, what were we talking about again? 😃

[@JonathanRossignol]

@17:30 You remember when I let you borrow ten grand? Yeah... I'm gonna have to call that loan due. It's been long enough. lol

Just watched this video before writing an essay on le horla in regards to mental illness. I really enjoyed your analysis!!! : ) It brought ideas to mind that I didn't even think about, thank you!
