"Mademoiselle Fifi" by Guy de Maupassant is a 19th-century novella set during the Franco-Prussian War, focusing on Prussian officers stationed in a Normandy chateau, where boredom and arrogance lead to a fateful decision to invite women from Rouen for entertainment; the story explores themes of military authority and moral difficulties when a reckless act of violence by the officer known as Mademoiselle Fifi transforms their frivolous evening and exposes the dark side of war as it shows human nature pushed to its limits and tests shared morals during wartime.
