as a witch and calls her Miss Awful. He doesn't consider the possibility that
 she has good motives for her behavior. He assumes she's just an unpleasant
person.

 Analysis The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant

Plot:
 Exposition.
The Necklace exposition introduces the readers to the no-name protagonist.
She is far from being a princess from a fairytale. She is just a daughter of
middle-class parents, who cannot afford to let her enter higher society.
 Rising action.
The Necklace rising action starts when M. Loisel brings an envelope with an
invitation. He worked hard so the boss could host it to him. Hoping to cheer
her up, he gives her a chance to attend a ball full of high society. However,
Mathilde gets upset as she has nothing to wear. She borrows jewelry from
Madame Forestier. After all, they’re getting ready to go to the ball.
 Climax.
Mathilde gets what she needs: being beautiful, admired, and desired. Until she
realizes she lost the borrowed “diamond” necklace. That is the climax of the
story. Mathilde's discovery is the most exciting and dramatic moment in the
story (until that crazy twist in the last line). It's also the turning point in the
plot. Before, the story was a build-up to Mathilde's one glorious night with the
rich and famous. Now it transitions into a desperate search. We have a feeling
things are not going to end well.
 Falling action.
The story’s falling action is Loisels working hard to pay terrible debts taken
out to replace the necklace for the next decade.
 Resolution.
The Necklace resolution is Mathilde confessing the necklace loss and
replacement to Madame Forestier. She realizes that the necklace was a fake
and worth nothing.

Theme
Grateful with your own (From the short story we learn that Mrs. Loisel wants
to be glamorous and for reaching that she borrows a necklace but it
disappears. Finally, she and her husband must be doing hard work to replace
it. The Necklace” is, at its heart, a story about Mathilde’s social ambition,
 which takes the form of a desire to acquire luxurious objects that she cannot
afford. Through her ruin, Maupassant warns against the dangers of greed and
criticizes those who ascribe too much value to wealth and material
possessions.
Mathilde invests objects like the diamond necklace she borrows from Mme.
Forestier with enormous significance, and her happiness is heavily dependent
on her possession of the objects she desires. Mathilde’s distress at the
beginning of the story is largely a result of her unfulfilled desire for material
objects: “She had no wardrobe, no jewels, nothing.” This materialism is
inextricable from her social ambition, as she fears that she will be rejected by
the higher classes because she does not appear to be wealthy enough. Once
Mathilde obtains the diamond necklace she wants and is able to wear it at the
party, she quickly becomes “wild with joy.” However, as soon as the party is
over Mathilde loses the necklace and is once again unhappy, suggesting that
material possessions cannot guarantee long-lasting happiness, and that greed,
in fact, can lead to ruin.
