Which aspects of war are addressed in both excerpts from short stories by Guy de Maupassant

Morality and ethics in the novel " Boule de Suif" by Guy de Maupassant

Franco-Prussian War began in 1870 and Maupassant went serving in the army from the first days. At this time, he finally came to hate the French bourgeoisie, who have shown themselves during the war from a very unpleasant side. All his observations he embodied in his works.

Maupassant masterfully described in a few pages all the hypocrisy, meanness and cowardice of people receiving inherited right to be elected or aspiring to the step, which is inaccessible to ordinary mortals.

It's no secret that he showed hypocrisy, universal corruption, shameless pursuit of profit and opportunism.
