what lesson do you learn from the story The Diamond Necklace
Answers
Explanation:
Answer. I would say that the moral lesson of "The Necklace " is that deception is often a mistake which has bad results for the deceiver. Mathilde wishes to deceive the people attending the ball by making them think she has a higher social status than is actually the case. The borrowed necklace helps her to do this.
Explanation:
The moral of "The Necklace" is that we should be grateful for what we have rather than constantly seeking to acquire more. Mathilde Loisel is married to a man with a good job in the Ministry of Education; she has a servant girl who helps her with housework, and her husband is happy with their modest life and exclaims "delightedly" when presented with even simple dinners. However, Madame Loisel is miserable because she does not have fancy clothes or expensive jewels, "and these were the only things she loved." She wants to be "desired" and "sought after" and to charm other people with how "wildly attractive" she is.
Madame Loisel is unable to find happiness, or even contentment, with all that she has, and so she tries to create a night in which she can pretend that she lives the life to which she believes she is entitled. She gets a new dress, goes to a fancy party, and borrows a lavish diamond necklace to wear. Mathilde fails to appreciate a husband who has worked to secure an invitation and who has offered her money (which he was saving for himself) so that she can get a dress to wear for one night, and this ultimately gets her into trouble. She could have been satisfied with her life, but she was not. She could have been happy with her dress, but she was not. She had to have jewels, too, though flowers would have done just as well. If she had been grateful for what she had and not sought to have more, then she could have lived happily and contentedly with her loving husband.
