Abstrak

This study focuses on Rollo May's existential psychology approach, examined in the short stories La Parure, Une Vendetta, and Madame Baptiste by Guy de Maupassant. This study aims to describe being-in-the-world and Nonbeing-in-the-World in the three short stories. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method and is library research that involves reading books, magazines, and other data sources to obtain information. The results of the study show that there are differences in the form of the main character's existence in showing and maintaining it; 1) in the short story La Parure, the main character shows her existence by taking responsibility for her mistakes towards others, 2) in the short story Une Vendetta, the main character shows her existence to her environment by proving that even though she is only an older woman, she has succeeded in taking revenge, 3) while in the short story Madame Baptiste, the main character cannot maintain her existence by giving up her existence in the world by committing suicide.
