In short, she whines and wails for the lack of the worldly items, she perpetually craves! She despises her married life, is discontented with the food on the stove, wails over her lack of fine clothing, and jewelry. She thought herself entitled to all the luxuries, and indefatigably aimed for all the opulence! “She suffered ceaselessly, feeling herself born for all the delicacies and all the luxuries.” Mathilde, born to a low-class, with no money for a dowry, is married to Monsieur Loisel, a clerk! It is a hands-down blockbuster 5-star read for me! □ “The Necklace” is a remarkably compelling story teaching the readers lessons on appearance vs reality, avarice and it’s evil-outcome, beauty and the mirage, covetousness for material possessions and the ephemeral superficial delight that comes along! Whatever may be your answer, do read this short story baring the avaricious and mercenary female, Mathilde, and bringing her face-to-face with her own shallowness, but alas, she fails to learn, becoming more penurious than what she was, both materialistically and morally! Are you willing to dwindle away your invaluable life for coveting expensive, precious, materialistic possessions?
