Question

Compare and contrast Two different characters from "The Proposal" and "The Necklace".. Natalya Stephanovna and Madame Loisel (Matilda)?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In each story, the author uses extreme examples of class-consciousness, narcissism, and selfishness. The young couple in “The Proposal” care nothing for each other. The marriage is one of opportunity and advancement. In “The Necklace,” Matilda’s refusal to accept her status results in disaster, and she loses what little she has.

In “The Proposal,” the young couple argues about everything. There seems to be no love or affection, and only selfishness. This is demonstrated through Natalya’s reaction to Lomov insisting the Oxen Meadows are his.
