Where is the Necklace?

Guy Maupassant’s short story, “The Necklace”, Is about a women that is ambitious for attention and being envied. His husband has been invited to a grand party of his work with his wife, Mathilde. She will do everything to look amazing for that part and her friend lend her a necklace, at the party she succeeded but the necklace was lost.

His imagery texts are very strong such as:

Instead of being delighted, as her husband hoped, she threw the invitation on the table with disdain, murmuring:

“What do you want me to do with that?”

“But, my dear, I thought you would be glad. You never go out, and this is such a fine opportunity.

This appeals to the senses of sight and sound because it describes it perfectly how it reacts with the letter.

“No; there’s nothing more humiliating than to look poor among other women who are rich.” pg.2

This reveals that Mathilde is whats people attention and to be the top star of everything. That’s why she just wants expensive things and stand out among others.

I enjoy reading this short story because karma happened to Mathilde for being so anvicious.
