“The Two Friends” is a simple, yet powerful story from the French master in writing stories, Guy de Maupassant. The story is about two friends who meet in Paris during the Franco- Prussian war that brought them nothing but sorrow, poverty, and hunger, taking away of the everyday pleasures of life, freedom, and peace.
The two friends, Monsieur Morissot and Monsieur Savage met while enjoying the fishing together every Sunday at a river near the town. As the war enraged, they forgot about their passion, but one unexpected meeting refreshed their memories. Overwhelmed by excitement, they decide to go fishing again, although that became a rather dangerous thing to do in the times of war, especially with their favorite fishing spot being set near the area occupied by the Prussian enemies.
They still decide to enter this adventure, not because of the fish, as for returning the feeling of being a human living in an ordinary world, free and entitled to enjoy their lives. Unfortunately, their trip ends fatally. This quite simple theme is being told as a remarkable story. Maupassant is using simple expressions, aligning with the plot, yet that simplicity carries the huge part of the message consisted of this story.
By simplifying the plot, Maupassant uses inner state of the characters as the main spot for realizing his theme and ideas. He has described only a small fragment of the lives of main characters, with only a hint of retrospective used for setting their encounter in context necessary for the story to begin. Unfortunately, that part of their lives becomes crucial, as it leads them directly to death.
The main characters of this story are the regular people who were mostly suffered by the war. Their problem is more than just the suffering and the hunger, as the subtraction of their dignity being outlined, as well as their right to remain free and all the other little things that make life worth living.
The both of the main characters are common people happy with the small pleasures, never having too much yet always having the amount enough for living satisfied. They died the same way as they lived, with their death hardly descriptive as heroic, yet truly heroic in a specific way. They died by not putting shame upon their names, not betraying anyone or acting like cowards yet entering the death with dignity.
Their heroism is best described in their intact humanity, undented fear or will to escape, although they weren’t begging at any moment or lowering themselves under their dignity. At the very start of this fatal situation, the both characters come to terms with their fate, knowing what to expect from the moment they got caught. The only thing remained for them was not to betray their humanity and life while walking this path of death.
