In the decade between 1880 and 1890 Man de Maupassant released over 300 brief stories in a variety of modes, like the supernatural legend, the surprise-ending story, and the realistic storyline. He also contributed to the elegance of the horror storyline by moving it even further than Edgar Allan Poe into the modern mode of subconscious obsession and madness. In Am I Insane? Maupassant's concentrate is on how an obsession becomes so powerful that it's translated into murderous action. The narrator adores a certain girl to madness. However, he also hates her passionately, he intensely dreams both to possess her and wipe out her. The madness here is like the important madness in many Poe stories; there exists some basis for the narrator's jealous obsession, both figuratively in the powerful male symbolism of the horse and basically in the narcissism and autoeroticism that the woman's daily rides suggest.
