Mathilde

Mathilde Loisel was a woman who didn’t appreciate much, but she changes throughout the story and becomes humble and is a very dynamic character. But before all that happened there was only one thing that she appreciated a lot which were luxuries. Mathilde was one of those people that did not care for, love, happiness, or health, but more so cared for clothes, jewels, and riches. When the story started she only cared about one thing and as the author states "She suffered endlessly, feeling herself

devour the body’s flesh more than fever or consumption.” Mathilde, the main character in “The Necklace,” has a sickening thought and attitude towards life at all times.This attitude builds a character that not only devoured her flesh and mind, but her life as well. Guy de Maupassant attentively builds and shows Mathilde’s sickening character through the setting and the symbols. The author precisely uses the setting to characterize Mathilde. For example, the story is set in the 1800s, and in the

How you ever met a person who is different on the inside than on the outside? Mathilde Loisel is a pretty, middle-class woman who lives in Paris in the late 1800s. The story “The Necklace” is written by Guy de Maupassant. She doesn’t think about others/selfish. Her husband treats her like he should and she isn’t happy with it. She cares too much about her outward appearance. Besides the fact that she is pretty, Mathilde Loisel is also a closed-minded, selfish, and a vain person. She doesn’t

In de Maupassant's Necklace, Mathilde and her husband are dissimilar in character. Mathilde Loisel, a wife of a clerk, is very discontent and unloving to her husband Monsieur Loisel. She refers to her husband as “... a little clerk…”(1). This demeans her spouse and her lifestyle that he provides that is not quite desirable seem much more tragic and troublesome. Mathilde also thinks that her husband is not enough for her and longs for a richer husband. Not only that, she also desires to be lusted

than later has a less impact on your life later. First, when Mathilde, a woman from Paris, feels at her lowest because she doesn’t have the nicest things or the fanciest things, she gets invited to the social ball of her time in her town. Next, Mathilde isn’t happy with what she has so she asks her husband for a new dress so she could be the prettiest there, along with borrowing a diamond necklace from Madame Forestier. In addition, Mathilde danced all night, and by the time she got home she realized

the talk of the night. To be admired and asked about. She was truly glorious; until she noticed the missing jewelry. The missing jewelry was the turning point of the story Mathilde was always day dreaming about how life would be if she had all the good things. But losing the jewelry brought a harsh reality on Mathilde life. The replacement was thirty- six francs. The good things she had in her life were now reduced to nothing. She went from having a semi privileged life to working and aging

I feel sorry for Mathilde Loisel, from my understanding of her background “She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of being known, understood, loved, wedded by any rich and distinguished man,” she was destined to live a life she so despised - a lowly peasant. Given the time setting where for women “there is neither caste nor rank: and beauty, grace, and charm act instead of family and birth,” Mathilde Loisel was rock bottom, condemning in my eyes her envy and suffering. Yes, she sounds infatuated

unless they change their ways soon enough. Mathilde Loisel has an interesting personality during the story. It was this personality, however, that did not merely contribute to her downfall, but was, in fact, her downfall. She did not change her ways. Her personality had many factors that she would have been better off without, such as dishonesty, greed, high expectations, and her constant need to have more.

In Guy De Maupassant’s “The Necklace” Mathilde Loisel is a middle-class woman who is miserable with her lifestyle and her husband. She looks at her apartment and her husband unhappily. Fantasizing about what her life would be like if she were wealthy. She is a greedy woman who never appreciates what her husband does for her and could not be more miserable with her life. She is selfish and cares more about the objects around her than the people. Her husband got her an invitation to a dinner party

Money definitely equals happiness as seen in “The Necklace” and in my own personal life. It could help with many conflicts. In “The Necklace” Mathilde Loisel didn't’ have a whole lot of money,but she wasn't poor either.

She would of bought all the jewelry she needed and also live in a luxury castle with as many servants as she desired. If i could have a lot of money in my own personal
