Mme.forestier's necklace
"The Necklace", a short story written by Guy de Maupassant, tells the stor about a middle-class woman, Madame Mathilde Loisel, who aspires to become a part of a higher social class. She is married to a low-paid clerk who works hard to make her happy, however, despite his efforts, she is still constantly unhappy and discontented. The necklace featured in the title is her friend's diamond necklace, which she borrowed so that she has something to use for a particular party. Madame Mathilde lost the borrowed necklace during the party, and, instead of admitting to her friend what has transpired, she sought to replace the piece with a similar necklace that costed her 36,000 francs. This purchase caused her extreme poverty. After 10 years, however, she saw Madame Forrestier, the person who owned the necklace that she borrowed. She explained what has happened in the past and how she lived terribly after she has replaced the lost one, only to find out that the piece that she borrowed was an imitation that costed only 500 francs. The necklace could be considered the symbolism of her extreme desire to "fit in" with the higher ranks of the society, as well as the cause of her misfortunes and eventual poverty.
The title of the short story is "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant.
role of the diamond necklace in the story
The story of the "Heart of the Ocean" necklace in the movie Titanic is fictional and was created for the film's narrative. There is no historical evidence that such a necklace or similar story existed on the actual Titanic.
Mathilde, the main character in 'The Necklace,' learns that expensive things aren't what makes a person beautiful or worthwhile, and that beauty actually comes from within. The short story was written by Guy de Maupassant.
