"The Necklace"

Guy de Maupassant.

 

• Write within 200-250 words

 

Madame Mathilde has always imagined herself an aristocrat, despite being born into a family of clerks. Her husband is a low-paid clerk who tries his best to make her happy. After much effort, he secures for them an invitation to a ball sponsored by the Ministry of Education.

Madame Loisel refuses to go, for she has nothing to wear and wishes not to be embarrassed. Upset at her displeasure, Loisel gives her 400 francs all the money he had been saving to go hunting with his friends – so she can buy a dress. Even after Madame Loisel does so, she is still unhappy because she has no jewels to wear with it. She spurns Loisel's idea of wearing fresh flowers instead but takes his suggestion to borrow some jewelry from her friend, Madame Jeanne Forestier. She borrows a diamond necklace as her only ornamentation.

Madame Loisel enjoys herself at the ball, dancing with influential men and reveling in their admiration. Once she and Loisel return home, though, she discovers that she has lost Jeanne's necklace. Unable to find it. they resign themselves to buying a replacement. At the Palais-Royal shops, they find a similar necklace priced at 40,000 and bargain for it, eventually settling at 36,000.  Loisel uses an inheritance from his father to cover half the cost and borrows the rest at high interest. Madame Loisel gives the necklace to Jeanne without mentioning the loss of the original.

Mr. Loisel and Madame Loisel move into a shabby apartment and live in poverty for ten years. After all the loans are paid off, Madame Loisel encounters Jeanne on the Champs-Élysées, but Jeanne barely recognizes her due to her shabby clothing and unkempt appearance. Madame Loisel tells Jeanne about the loss and replacement of the necklace.. A horrified Jeanne reveals that the necklace she lent to Madame Loisel had contained fake diamonds and was worth no more than 500 francs.

 

• Write the summary of the story (Focus on plot, characters in 5 to 8 sentences)

 

 

One of the themes within "The Necklace" is the dichotomy of reality versus appearance. Madame Loisel is beautiful on the outside, but inside she is discontented with her less-than-wealthy lifestyle. She believes that material wealth will bring her joy, and her pride prevents her from admitting to Madame Forestier that she is not rich, and that she has lost the necklace she borrowed. Because of her pride and obsession with wealth, Mathilde loses ten years of her life and spends all of her savings on replacing the necklace, only to find out that the original necklace was a fake to begin with a falsely wealthy appearance, just like Madame Loisel herself. The story demonstrates the value of honesty; if Mathilde had told the truth to Madame Forestier, she would likely have been able to easily replace the necklace and enjoy the prosperity she wanted but never had.

 

• Write what you liked and did not like about the story

What I Like:

The Writer Describe the story excellently.  The lesson of the story is that honesty is the best policy. If Mathilde had been honest with her friend from the start, she would have learned that the necklace wasn't made of real diamonds and would not have wasted ten years paying for a replacement. The Story also show the love of a husband to his wife.  Like a short story , the conclusion of the story is just awesome

What I Didn’t like:

The don.t like the last part of the story. In the Last part of the story they are suffering a lot for her wife’s ambition but in that time his wife didn’t show any curtesy to her husband because her husband lost everything only for his wife happiness. Writer give more impotence in honesty than love.

 

• If you are asked to bring some changes in the story, what would you change.
