Abstract

French short Story Writer Guy De Maupassant and Saadat Hassan Manto have been considered to be the writers of all ages. They belonged to two different Countries with extremely divergent social and cultural background, yet there is amazing resemblance between their themes and characters. Both have a wide range of variegated characters in their short stories belonging to all spheres of life. Through magnificent female characters, they have challenged the double standards of male dominant society. Why is it so that it is always a woman that sacrifices and suffers anguish at teh hand of those she serves with utter meticulousness and scrupulousness? Manto and as well Maupassant has created some of the strongest female characters in Literature. One finds exquisite amusement in the analogy revealed at all levels of characterization in the short stories of the two impeccable men and outstanding writers of the world.
