Mme Loisel had been saving 400 francs in order to buy a suitable dress to wear to a high-society event they had been invited to. She wanted to look elegant and fit in with the other guests.
The moral lesson is be honest with people when you have lost their necklace and be thankful for what you have!A person should not be so proud as to pretend to be someone in a higher station in life than he or she really is. If Mme. Loisel had not pretended to be a person of higher status, she would not have borrowed the necklace. By all means, become such a person, but do not pretend. Also, dishonesty will likely lead to regrettable consequences. Had Mme. Loisel been honest about losing the necklace, she would not have had to pay such a high price to replace it.
Mathilde thought she was worthy of great things because she was beautiful and charming. So she borrowed a diamond necklace to look above her station and lost it. She replace the fake necklace (that she believed was real) with a real necklace but it took her and her husband years of hard labor to do so. Had she been honest, she never would have wasted those years.
It is hard to say, as there are different angles. It is not clearly stated when the story took place in nineteenth century Paris. if telephones were up and running- and say if this was the nineties- surely that was the style- she would, methinks,call the owner of the necklace up and explain exactly what happened- how the gems were accidentally lost- my guess is then the owner would explain to Mme Loisel that there was no worry and it was costume jewelry- or ( paste) as it is described in the story- the repayment and crash dive into poverty would have never happened- Honesty is the best policy. My guess if the author wanted to make fun of (society crashers) using gimmicks- in effect inverting the Cinderella plot device. O. Henry did a similar story about a bungled inheritance scheme- that was foiled by history- All iof the Money was Confederate. It takes two to swindle- assume that MMe Loisel immediately infomed ( my guess by telephone) the circumstances of the loss- she probably would have explained it was a (wearing copy) and that would end the story right there. By the way wearing copies of such things as Gold and Platinum war medals were worn by officers in the field and also by diplomats at Press conferences- to avoid loss.
Hope remained in Pandora's box after it had been opened, while love was not specifically mentioned as being in the box in Greek mythology. Hope was considered the saving grace among the evils that were released.
Yes, it is true that I have never been to Europe before.
they have been saving 400 francs for Mme loisel dress to the ball.
M. Loisel had saved this 400 francs to buy a gun so he might be able to join some hunting parties the next summer, on the plains at Nanterre, with some friends who went to shoot larks up there.
According to the jeweler the necklace was worth 40,000 francs; but they could have it for 36,000 francs; he would buy it back for 34,000 - obviously it wasn't really worth the original 40,000 & he hadn't been able to sell it.
Madame Loisel in 'The Necklace' has been portrayed as a beautiful woman who is always longing to have fine and extravagant things. Her husband, Mister Loisel can not afford all her vain wants and so she doesn't think much of him. Even though they are not rich, they have a comfortable life, but Madame Loisel is not appreciative of it. She is full of complain and whines in want for more. Her greed is her weakness.

The Necklace is about a diamond necklace that Marie Antoinette was to have ordered, but in the story another person ordered the necklace and the plot builds on this idea. It is a good story with some twists and turns. The quality of the film is beautiful.

If Madame Loisel had been more truthful from the beginning about losing the necklace, her husband might have been able to help her find a solution sooner. This could have prevented them from going into severe debt and enduring years of hardship. Additionally, Madame Forestier may have been more understanding and could have helped them avoid unnecessary suffering.

Give her time to prepare an alibi. the story is very similar to one attributed to O.Henry with the memorable Punch Line- All of the Money was Confederate! Me note some vaguely anti-capitalist or even Communist overtones in stories of this anti-capital, social climbing missfires (Dollar signs in the sses.) tales. I don"t like it. It can also be argued Steinbeck"s (The Pearl) is a male variant on the Hope Diamond.
The authors purpose of writing the necklace is to tell us that we should just be contented with what we have. Envying the others wont do you any good. Telling the truth is also one of the purpose of the writer.
This story is told in 3rd person omniscient because you know the thoughts and feelings of madame Loisel and her husband Monsieur. You see Madame Loisel's thoughts in the beginning of the story when she is dreaming about what her life should be like as a rich woman when she is always telling herself she is poor even though she isn't. She is actually in high middle class but she wants all luxuries possible and says the only things she loves are clothes and jewels but she has none of them and is so self conscious and is constantly thinking that others are tormenting and insulting her poverty. You see Monsieur thoughts when he asks Madame Loisel how much she thinks a beautiful dress for the ball would cost and she replies 400 francs. The author describes how he turns pale because that was the exact amount of money that he was saving up for a gun he wanted but gives Madame Loisel the money anyways, which shows two people's point of veiw. Note: The Loisel's are not high middle class in the beginning of the story. They reach that level by the end of the story but at the beginning, they are higher low class.
