Madame Loisel is happy because she sees an opportunity to borrow jewelry from Madame Forestier to wear to a fancy party. This makes her excited because she believes that with fine jewelry she will be able to fully enjoy and fit in at the glamorous event.

The narrator suggests that Mathilde's problem is her desire for wealth and luxury, as well as her dissatisfaction with her current social status and material possessions. Her longing for a more glamorous life leads her to make choices that ultimately have negative consequences.

No, Madame Forestier lied about the necklace being real and told Mathilde it was only costume jewelry. The Loisel's spent years paying off the debt they incurred to replace the necklace, not knowing its true value. Madame Forestier never sold the necklace or returned any money to the Loisels.

When Madame Loisel first sees the necklace in its black satin box, it represents wealth, luxury, and the opportunity to transcend her social class. She is drawn to its beauty and sees it as a symbol of the life she desires but does not have.

Mathilde was devastated when she got home and realized she had misplaced her friend's diamond necklace. She experienced shock, and so did Mr. Loisel. They looked through the dress's folds and the wrap for the necklace but were unsuccessful. Mr. Loisel changed into his clothing and returned on foot to the search. He returned the following morning with no positive outcomes. He looked everywhere there could have been even the tiniest glimmer of hope. He was disappointed when he arrived back in the morning.

The plot of "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant follows Madame Loisel borrowing a necklace to wear to a fancy event, only to lose it.

Guy De Maupassant's â??Moonlightâ?? tells the story of a misogynist viewing women only as â??traps for menâ??. Upon learning of his nieceâ??s rendezvous with a lover he vows to catch her,.

In "The Necklace," the necklace itself serves as a metaphor for the protagonist Mathilde Loisel's desire for wealth and status. It symbolizes her obsession with material possessions and her belief that outward appearances are more important than inner qualities.

The shabbiness of Mathilde's apartment in "The Necklace" symbolizes her dissatisfaction with her social status and desire for a more luxurious life. It highlights the stark contrast between her dreams of wealth and the reality of her modest living conditions, fueling her sense of resentment and longing for a life of luxury.

The moral lesson to be learned from "The Necklace" is that a person will pay dearly for coveting false values and a person's preoccupation with appearance and meterialism is fruitless and vain.

She is happy because she feels more higher class than she actually is and deserves. Basically, Madame Loisel wants to be in a higher society and wearing the gown and necklace make her feel so.

Be contented of what you have. That one should not be greedy enough and should learn to live within their own means and be happy with what they have. A person should not be so proud as to pretend to be someone in a higher station in life than 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.

"Detailed physical description of Mathilde." This is not related to the tone, which refers to the attitude of the author towards the character. Maupassant's portrayal of Mathilde is characterized by irony, sympathy, and criticism, rather than focusing on detailed physical descriptions.

If "The Necklace" was told from her husband's point of view, we might gain insight into his perspective on their financial struggles and his reaction to Mathilde's behavior.
