Guy de Maupassant's novella "An Uncomfortable Bed" is written in a hilarious tone and atmosphere. After arriving at his friend's house, the narrator's paranoia (an unreasonable and persistent belief that others are 'out to get you) makes the scenario highly amusing.
PART A
- The short tale "An Uncomfortable Bed" is amusing. Although the audience may sense the funny tone from the start, the narrator himself remains solemn throughout the narrative.
- This truth adds to the comedy of the narrative and the narrator's dilemma.
- "Watch out, old ferret!" says the narrator. "They have something in store for you," begins a chain of events that only end in laughter.
His friends' warm greeting to their home, his eating style at dinner, and subsequently making modifications in the sleeping chamber are all presented in a hilarious manner, but the narrator himself is ignorant of the comedic aspect of his activities (just like Mr Bean).
The author generates suspense towards the end of the narrative.
- The narrator informs us that after a lengthy period of deep slumber (in the centre of the room on the floor), he felt a heavy item on him.
- There was also some hot liquid on his face, neck, and chest. With some effort, the narrator discovered that the heavy thing had a face, a nose, and whiskers.
- This tension is resolved in the story's second final line when the heavy item is revealed to be a valet who had brought tea and breakfast for him but stumbled across the narrator's bed in the centre of the room.
