The imaginary of water holds a highly important role in Maupassant’s work, building a network of varied aquatic images often linked to nature and its various settings : maritime, fluvial, lacustrine, rainy or misty. The outer scenery mirrors the heroes’ inner landscape. Happiness and sadness rhythmically flow with water and the seasons ; in a similar way, the passing of time goes by in a slow degradation of the Being, which reduces him to nothingness. On other occasions the aquatic universe is related to affectivity and is therefore associated with love or the Woman, a source of lust and pleasure, whose hold is irresistible to the Man. Evasive and vanishing, water flows through Maupassant’s work and glides nimbly into his vision of society or in the descriptions of natural order. Water is also present in the yearning for freedom and in the characters’ distress. These elements, symbols of ambition, success or failure, sometimes undergo a process of liquefaction that confers a strong feeling of ephemerality to Maupassant’s writing.
