The story of "Butterball" by Guy de Maupassant indicates the grotesque French society when france was totally defeated by Prussia. Maupassant was actually a cynical writer. His story exposes the irony of the hypocrisy of French middle class, cowardice of nobles, and dishonesty. This story is only about 50 pages long, but shows many characters of a human being, and issues under the class system.
