Three contradictions were present in Maupassant's "A Wedding Gift". First is found in the first stanza which stated that Jacques Bourdilliere had sworn never to marry. This vow was suddenly broken when he saw Berthe. The two married too soon.
Second is when the story spoke of the binding attachment that was broken between Jacques and his former lover. A binding attachment is not supposed to be broken, from the phrase itself.
Third contradiction is the title of the story. The child was a wedding gift for the newly-wed couple brought by the tragedy of Jacques' former lover. A tragedy is unusual to be interpreted as a gift, especially at a wedding.
Allegory, from the Greek ἀλληγορία (allegoría) "figuratively", is a literary figure or artistic theme, which aims to represent an idea using human forms, animals, and / or everyday objects.
The allegory aims to give an image to what has no image, so that it can be better understood by the generality. Drawing the abstract, making "visible" what is only conceptual, obeys a didactic intention. Thus, a blind woman with a scale is an allegory of justice, and a skeleton with a scythe is an allegory of death.
