expensive necklace.
Mathilda was very careless about the necklace. She
enjoyed the party. Her greatest desire had come true.

everything, even her husband. Therefore, it was
probable that either someone had stolen it during the
party or she might have dropped it there.

the cares of the week. Suddenly she saw Madam Forestier who
was also taking a walk with a child. She decided to talk to her.
She was meeting her after ten years. Now that she had paid up
for the necklace, she could talk to her without any fear.
When Madam Forestier came to know that it was real, she was greatly
moved. She took Mathilda’s both hands and told her that her necklace
was not real and it was not worth over five hundred francs.
Therefore, that was how Mathilda came to know that the necklace she
had borrowed was false and all her struggle was useless.

34. End
In the story "The Necklace," in
what way can we liken
Mathilde with the real and fake
necklaces?

35. Mathilde is described in a way that likens her
to a fake jewel; something that replaces what
is meant to be shiny, and one-of-a-kind, but is
actually just a cheap, made-up version of the
original. Mathilde may feel that she can play
the part of something genuinely unique, but
her reality is quite different.

37. In the drama of human life, chance
or fate, sometimes, is more powerful
than human resolution. It is man’s
destiny. Do you agree?
How was chance, luck, or fate at the
basis of the suffering of Mathilda
and Loisel? End
