Answer:In the chapter "The necklace" Matilda is a pretty lady who dreams herself to be born for all the luxuries. However she is born in a poor family and is married to a clerk. One evening when her husband brought her an invitation to the party , she was sad instead of being happy. The reason was that she didn't have a proper dress . So her husband brought her a dress . She then cried for not having any jewels. She borrowed an beautiful necklace from Mrs Forestier. But she lost it and didnt tell her friend about this . She replaced it with a real diamond necklace and after suffering for 10 yrs she finally told her friend about it. However she was shocked to know that it was fake. Obstination and vanity landed her in trouble. If she had presented herself in the way she is in the party and confessed about the loss of the necklace to her friend , she would have been in a better place.
