In the short story “ The Necklace” by Guy De Maupassant the main character Mmd. Loisel is a selfish and dishonest person. The first character trait is that she shows is that she’s selfish. Mmd. Loisel demenstrates selishishness by crying about not having the right dress so her husband had to give her money to buy a fancy dress. She says in the story “oh, nothing only I don’t have an evening dress and therefore I can’t go to that affair”(29). Mmd. Loisel demonstrates her selfishness again in the story. Another way she demonstrates is when she wouldn’t wear what she had, she had to have something rich women would wear. She demonsrates when she says, “No…. There’s nothing more humiliating than to look poor among alot of richbwomen”(30).
