Guy de Maupassant
 Guy de Maupassant
Guy de Maupassant was a popular 19th-century
French writer, considered one of the fathers of the modern
short story and one of the form's finest exponents. He was born
into an upper-middle-class family in France, and when his
family’s fortune ran out he was forced to work for a while as
government clerk. From this position he drew inspiration for the
husband in the story “The Necklace.” He was able to generate
some significant income and fame as a writer, however his
success was short-lived. Maupassant suffered from mental
illness, and died at a Paris asylum at the young age of 42.
 Mathilde Loisel is “pretty
and charming” but feels she
has been born into a family of
unfavourable economic status.
She was married off to a lowly
clerk in the Ministry of
Education, who can afford to
provide her only with a modest
though not uncomfortable
lifestyle. Mme. Loisel feels the
burden of her poverty
intensely. She regrets her life
and spends endless hours
imagining more extravagant
existence.
Why is Mme. Loisel
unhappy with her life?
While her husband
expresses his pleasure at the
small, modest supper she has
prepared for him, she dreams
of an elaborate feast served
on fancy china and eaten in
the company of wealthy
friends. She possesses no
fancy jewels or clothing, yet
these are the only things she
lives for. Without them, she
feels she is not desirable. She
has one wealthy friend,
Madame Forestier, but
refuses to visit her because of
the heartbreak it brings her.
Why did Mathilde feel upset when she received the
invitation card?
