The Diamond Necklace,a short fiction written by Maupassant,is a world of metaphors.In the story,the protagonist Mathilde shifts from self-deception to salvation but ends up with absurdity.It shows that the existence of man is usually accompanied with absurdity and it closely related with the life state of man who is no longer"being as being".Therefore,men are inevitably caught up into the trap they design for themselves.%莫泊桑的短篇小说《项链》构成了一个隐喻的世界,在这个世界中,主人公玛蒂尔德从自欺走向自我救赎,但救赎却是以荒诞结束。小说向我们揭示了"人之存在"往往与荒谬相伴这一命题,这与人不再"是其所是"的生命状态密切相关,如此,人不可避免地陷入自己给自己设置的圈套中。
