Synopsis
Although Maupassant's own introduction to his novel proclaims a general distaste for the so-called psychological novel, "Pierre and Jean" (1888) emerged as a very intimate and internal study of jealousy, suspicion, and love within families. Pierre, a doctor, and Jean, a lawyer, are the sons of a retired jeweler who live with his wife in Le Havre. Pierre is jealous of his brother's relationship with Madame Rosémilly, and he becomes suspicious about his mother's fidelity when his brother inherits the fortune of an old family friend. These emotions conflict with an abiding respect for his mother and genuine affection for Jean, so Pierre turns inward and escapes by accepting a job as a doctor on a transatlantic liner.
