What is a metaphor in the story the necklace?

Answer 1

If you are talking about The Necklace by Guy DeMaupassant, the main character is Madame Loisel, an envious middle class woman in France. She borrows a valuable necklace from her rich friend so she can go to a dance and look rich, but looses it. She ends up spending years in poverty repaying all the loans it took to buy a replacement before her friend notices its gone, loosing her beauty from years of manual labor. She meets her old friend in the street one day, and asks her how she is doing. The friend hardly recognizes her. When Loisel reveals her identity and tells her friend that she lost her necklace, she is shocked and sympathetic. After all the hard work Loisel did to repay the debt she acquired from replacing the necklace, it turns out that the necklace was only a fake!


Haha her life stinks! ;)
