Analysis Of The Poem ' The Ending Sentence Of The Story '

Mathilde never seemed satisfied with what she had. She envied the upper class and felt she should have what they have. “She suffered ceaselessly, feeling herself born for all the delicacies and all the luxuries. She suffered from the poverty of her dwelling” (Maupassant). This desire to belong in the upper class caused her only to focus on what she did not have. When her husband surprises her with the invitation to the ball the only thing she can think about is not having the proper dress for the occasion. “She looked at him with an irritated eye, and she said, impatiently: “’And what do you expect me to put on my back?’” (Maupassant).

But later in the story her discontentment caused her to terrible problem and sealed her fate. The necklace of Madame Forestier has been lost.

Loisel had a brilliant idea, his idea was to replace the necklace with another one, they went to several stores and in one of them they found the exact copy, it costed 36,000 francs. Obviously they couldn’t pay it so Loisel and Mathilde were borrowing money from everybody, Loisel signed notes everywhere, he did business with shark loaners, and he even compromised his life.

In the first stanza of “ Where the sidewalk ends,” Silverstein is explaining the scene, with nice descriptive words, “There is a place where the sidewalk ends / and before the street begins, / and there the grass grows soft and white, / and there the sun burns crimson bright, / and there the moon-bird rests from his flight / to cool in the peppermint wind” (1-6). The word choice and descriptive language definitely brought me back to a time when I was younger. Silverstein obviously didn’t follow any set rules, he made it his very own. The place I think he might be talking about is the borderline between night and day, or sun and the moon. It’s the middle of two things that are opposites.

Like any good action movie, there is almost always a dramatic plot twist, an exhilarating fight, a sudden death; something that nobody ever saw coming. Most people hope for a happy ending, but this was not the case in the short story, The Necklace. Losing what appeared to be a diamond necklace, Mathilde Loisel, the main character, had to pay a great debt that leads to her moral destruction. Mathilde Loisel, undeniably egocentric, and pitiful, deserved the tragedy that happened to her. She had dreaded her own life, envying the life of higher class women creating a terrible impression that women should be of higher class to be deemed acceptable. Mathilde should not have deserved the things that she had because she was so unhappy with own middle-class life. She caused her husband to suffer because of her own debt.
