The Necklace

Maupassant's tone towards Loisel can be seen as critical and mocking. He highlights her superficiality and relentless desire for material possessions, ultimately showcasing the consequences of her actions and the hollowness of her character.

There are two static characters in "The Necklace." One is Msr. Loisele, Mathilde's husband. The other is Madame Forestier. Neither character changes in personality or resolves any personal conflict. In other words, they are static because they undergo no change through out the story, whereas Madame Loisele goes from aspiring to be a member of the upper class to the realization that her false beliefs in her station in life and her dishonesty have ruined her life all for naught.

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.

Madame Loisel hesitates to go to the ball because she feels she doesn't have the suitable clothing or accessories to fit in with the wealthy crowd. She is also embarrassed by her humble background and worries about being judged by others at the event.

Maupassant's tone towards Mathilde softens after she sacrifices her beauty and youth due to the years of hardship brought on by her desire for material possessions. He shows a hint of sympathy and pity towards her character in the closing sections of the story "The Necklace".

The Necklace is a short story classified as a work of literary fiction. It explores themes of materialism, insecurity, and the consequences of deceit, making it a classic example of the short story genre.

The sun was setting behind the mountains as Sarah walked along the beach, feeling the sand between her toes. She thought about the letter she received earlier that day, the one that could change her life forever. As she watched the waves crash against the shore, she made a decision to follow her heart and take a chance on a new adventure, no matter where it may lead.

At the beginning of "The Necklace," Madame Loisel feels disdain and frustration towards her husband for his lack of wealth and status. She believes she deserves a more luxurious lifestyle and resents him for not being able to provide it for her.

In the short story "paste", James talks about a string of pearls that are real but are thought to be fake, in a comedic tone. But in "The Necklace", the author talks about a diamond necklace which is truly imitation (fake) but is perceived to be genuine (real), in a serious tone.

There is no widely known individual named Madan Loisel. It is possible that the name is either misspelled or referencing someone who is not prominent in public records or mainstream media. More context would be needed for a specific answer.

The irony is the fact that the woman worked her entire life to buy a necklace for the woman after it was lost to find out later on that the necklace she had lost and spent all that time trying to replace was fake... Also, the fact that the woman had merely wanted to wear the jewelry to make herself look more pretty and rich for the party...If she hadn't of asked her friend to let her borrow the jewelry, she would never have ruined her life by trying to make up for what she had done earlier on...

The cultural context of "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant reflects the societal pressures of 19th-century France, particularly the emphasis on social status and appearances. The story highlights themes of vanity, materialism, and the consequences of pursuing wealth and status at the expense of personal happiness. Additionally, it critiques the rigid class structure of the time period and the obsession with external perceptions of success.

Mid to late nineteenth century in Paris, France. I would assume telephones were in use at the time- if so, a timely phone call could have saved a lot of money!

She paid the loans. Then one day she found Madame Forrester and told her the truth and how she lost the necklace and replaced it with a new one. She found that the necklace was fake and not that expensive. It cost only 500 francs.

Madame Loisel doesn't tell her friend about her lost necklace right away because she is ashamed and embarrassed by her carelessness in losing such an expensive item. She worries about the consequences of admitting her mistake and the judgement she may face from her friend and society. Additionally, she hopes to find a way to replace the necklace before her friend notices it is missing.

The exposition of "The Necklace" explains Mathilde's vain desire for riches and a higher social standing. The rising action takes place when she goes to the ball and loses her friend's diamond necklace, forcing her and her husband to frantically get money together to replace it. Finally, the climax ends the story in a twist when it is revealed that the necklace was not made of real diamonds and was worth much less money than the replacement Mathilde had been paying off for years.

Mr. and Mrs. Loisel, Mme Forestier ( owner of the necklace, who loans it out for Mme Loisel"s one night stand) miscellanous walk-on characters, people at the party, cab driver, etc. at no time did she have the common sense of calling up her friend and simply recounting everything that happened- which would have avoided much ( toil and trouble, not to mention money loss) The basic premise of a lost article figures in such social commentary tales as The Overcoat ( all of the money was Confederate), and watered down or turnabout plots, such as the (Super Car) a Detroit Dream car that figured in a plot in Bewitched and thanks to some Magic, was resolved happily- the car was returned to the Detroit custom shop where it was made, and the advertising executive ( who was driving the car when transmuted back to Detroit- seized on the idea of using it as an advertising prop ( he was selling sausages) it came out well, unlike the Necklace tale. listen folks- Observe and Heed article Nine from the Guy Upstairs....

the irony is Mathilde desperately wants to be of a higher class so she sacrifices one night of excitement and being noticed by the rich that she ends up spending her whole life even more unhappy and poor than she started out because she borrowed what she thought was a diamond necklace and ended up losing it.

The ultimate irony is that the necklace that Madame Loisele borrowed to prove that she was a member of high society proved to be as fake as her belief that she was a member of that high society.

also she thought that the ball was going to make her life better because of all the rich people attempting it, but it ends up making her life worse because she loses the necklace

Third Person Omniscient
