This master's thesis on literary writing consists of two separate parts. The first is a critique which discusses the problem of perceiving madness through reason in a selection of Guy de Maupassant's short stories. An analysis of the dialogue of the characters who represent reason will reveal that there are strong, strategic ties linking madness and reason. / This critique is followed by a creative work. The story focuses on a recluse who prefers the company of objects to that of people. He is, however, subjected to frequent visits from his "family of fools".
