People who are driven by greed end up focusing on what they do not have instead of being grateful for what they do have. This is relevant in the short story “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant because Mathilde Loisel ends up losing everything she owns just because she lets greed drive her decisions and get the best of her. When receiving an invitation to an extravagant ball, she declines because she says she does not have anything nice to wear.

“The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions” (Jackson). How will two authors contemplate two stories that include miserable sacrifices? The short stories “The Necklace” by Guy De Maupassant and “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson will provide response when exploring through the pages. Guy de Maupassant was born in 1850. At an early age his parents got divorced which lead him to grow a closer relationship with his mother and a family friend Gustave Flaubert.

Throughout Guy de Maupassant’s “The Necklace”, situational irony is used to create the feeling of desire in the story. For example, Madame Loisel wishes that she could be rich, but to the reader's

In examining the two short stories, The Yellow Wallpaper’s mode is a cross between fantasy and physiological realism where as The Necklace’s mode is realism. Even though the two have very different modes, they leave an impression on us to not always sweat the little things because we often make them bigger than they are. In The Necklace she sweated telling the truth, and by not, she wasted her life. In The Yellow Wallpaper, she is convinced that she is not crazy, and by doing so she makes her self crazy than she was. In terms of mode a distinct difference in the two stories is the narration.

In Guy De Mauspassant's `The Necklace," the author examines the theme of how learning a difficult lesson about honesty can impact someone for the rest of their life. The author also examines the theme through the use of his title, the characters who act out the events, and the plot.

The main character,

Guy de Maupassant’s short story “The Necklace” and M.Atwood’s poem “The Landlady” both suggest fairly similar topics. “The Necklace” portrays how a woman borrows an expensive necklace after experiencing a once and a life time night and loses it, while having no money to replace it. Similarly, the poem “The Landlady,” shows a person wanting ownership of a home and does not enjoy renting, but cannot afford a house. Between these two pieces, the wanting of money and being poor s a common feature, while having minor aspects of contrast. Although the nature of being poor differs between the short story and poem, both the main character and narrator forms levels of dreaming.

In conclusion dialogue can show many attributes of a character, while others may look deeper at the actions of the characters instead of the dialogue. As shown “The Necklace” and “The Bet” have very different characters that would often show a lot of themselves through dialogue. As seen most of the characters mentioned in the passages are very different from other which is clear when the reader reads their dialogue. Actions might speak louder than words, but for character words might be stronger than what the writer had us know.

In The Necklace, Guy De Maupassant creates a suffering tone. He uses diction to further describe words and give better meaning to his statements, irony to tie the story together and give dramatic surprises, and imagery to show you what Mathilde (the wife) is dreaming of our talking about. He uses all of these literary devices to support the tone that is created throughout the story.

The “Necklace” and “The Bet” both express how dialogue reveals some characters true selves. The Necklace written by Guy de Maupassant focuses on the main character, Madame Loisel. The narrator tries to make us feel pity and have sorrow for her, however, it is later revealed that she is ungrateful and isn’t appreciative of the little things that she owns. “The Bet” is about two people having an argument of whether the death penalty is better than being isolated for 15 years. Dialogue in “The Necklace” and “The Bet” functions to reveal aspects of character by (demonstrating) their feelings/thinking/behaviors and their character traits.
