|
Detailed explanation-1: -The short story ‘’The Necklace” ends with a chance meeting between Madame Loisel and Madame Forestier. Madame Forestier doesn’t even recognize her old friend anymore due to Mathilde’s changes in appearance. Ten years of hard work and poverty have changed Mathilde physically as well as her clothing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: The twist at the end of the story “The Necklace” is the fact that Mathilde borrowed the necklace to appear more beautiful but ended up losing her beauty completely. She borrows Madame Forestier’s necklace made with fake diamonds to give the appearance of being rich but lost both her money and looks.
Detailed explanation-3: -The irony in The Necklace is that Mathilde Loisel borrows a necklace from a wealthy friend and subsequently loses it. The Loisel’s spend ten years working to pay for the necklace, driving them to be even more poor than they were at the start of the story.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mrs Loisel had lost the necklace that she had borrowed from her friend and instead of confessing it to the owner, she got into more debt and poverty to repay the amount. The story tells us about the negative effects of pride and vanity and emphasizes the importance of being content with what one has.
