Answer:
Matilda Loisel was a beautiful young woman who
was born in a family of clerks. She believed that she
deserved a life of luxuries and delicacies. Therefore,
she was constantly unhappy and dissatisfied with the
modest life she led. She had no choice but to marry
a petty clerk, M. Loisel, who worked at the Board of
Education and was completely opposite of her. She
felt tortured by the lack of exquisite dinners, elegant
dresses, jewels, etc.
Jeanne Forestier, a rich friend of hers, who Matilda
went to school with, further added to her discomfort
because Matilda envied her friend. Matilda borrowed
a necklace from Mme. Forestier to wear with her
dress on the evening of the ball. The precious piece of
jewellery was there to appease her vanity, pretensions
and false ego; it gave her the joy. The necklace was
lost by her, and the Loisels had no other option but
to replace the necklace. Thus, Matilda Loisel spiraled
down to utter poverty. She had to do all sorts of
menial jobs and suffered a needless sacrifice for ten
years to pay off the debt. In these ten years, the adverse
situation made her a strong, hard, crude woman of
poor household. Therefore, she remained bitter and
unhappy throughout her life.
