Answer:
It is absolutely true paying undue heed to physical appearance is futile. Physical beauty is temporary; people who fuss about it have to face serious consequences. True beauty is the beauty of mind and character. We should spend maximum of our resources in grooming mind and character.
In the story we find Mathilde over conscious about physical beauty. Just to look more beautiful she borrows jewlellery from her friend. Unfortunately, the borrowed necklace is lost at the party. She and her husband have to face ten years’ grueling headships to pay for the replacement of the lost necklace. After ten years she comes to know from Madame Forestier that it was just an artificial necklace.
If Mrs. Loisel (Mathilde) had not gone beyond her means to attend the ball, she would not have faced all those hardships. If she had not been so much obsessed about trinkets and gimmicks of life for the sake of physical appearance, she would have been far more contented.
