A Coup d´Etat 
Vincent Alcaraz Guy de Maupassant 
José Manuel Castilla
Introduction 
The town of Cannevile, France, was in transition frombeing a Monarchy to a 
Republic. Dr. Massarel lead the republic movement and went to the Mayoralty 
with his subordinates to make the Mayor abdicate. The mayor quit without 
any resistance. The Dr. was overwhelmed that finally they were free, but no 
one apart fromhim seemed to be excited.
Thesis Statement 
• In spite of the circumstances people refuse to accept change even if they 
may benefit from it.
The character personalities 
• Dr. Massarel is a Republican who is really excited that the Monarchy had 
fallen in France after years of having an emperor. Dr massarel had 
expressions such as “The Republic has been proclaimed, the emperor has 
been taken prisoner, France is saved! Long live the Republic!” and “Hurrah! 
hurrah! Victory crowns the Republic everywhere.” He stayed overwhelmed 
until he noticed that nobody cared and his actions weren´t being rewarded 
not even with joy.
Second Element: Political Alussion 
• The author makes a critique of the political change in France during the XIX 
century without mentioning it directly, but actually showing it through the 
characters emotions and reactions.
Conclusion 
• As a conclusion Guy de Maupassant describes the political setting of France 
during the XIX through the eyes of a citizen that is in favor of change. 
Nevertheless the short story ends with a baffling turn of events.
