Answers
Answer:
The course of the Loisel’s life changed due to the necklace. After replacing the lost necklace with a new one, they had to replay all the money that they had borrowed to buy the new necklace. They sent away the maid and changed their lodgings. They rented some rooms in an attic. Matilda learnt the odious work of a kitchen. She washed the dishes, soiled linen, their clothes and dishcloths. She took down the refuse to the street each morning and brought up the water, stopping at each landing to catch her breath. She went to the grocer’s, the butcher’s, and the fruiter’s, with her basket on her arm, shopping, haggling to save her money. Loisel worked in the evenings, putting the books of some merchants in order. At night, he did copying at five sous a page. This lasted for ten years, and at the end of the said period, they were able to repay their lenders.
Answer:
Matilda lost Mrs. Forestiers necklace while she was
dancing at the ball. Matilda and her husband had to
return the necklace after borrowing eighteen thousand
francs from lenders. They handed the jewel box to
Mrs. Forestier who did not open the Jewel Box. After
that Matilda and her husband spent a life of misery.
A tremendous change came in the life style of Matilda
after this incident. She started living in rented house,
sent away the maid, and also started doing all the
household work. She led a wretched, poor and humble
life for ten years. Matildas desire to show off and one
little act of negligence or one small error led to the
utter ruin of their life full of pleasures. They suffered
poverty for ten years due to the debt they incurred to
buy a necklace.
