Detailed explanation-1: -In the short story ‘The Necklace’ by French author Guy de Maupassant, significant uses of figurative language include personification, symbolism, and hyperbole. They help us to understand the perspectives of Mathilde Loisel and her husband, who is simply called Loisel in the story.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the story, an example of verbal irony can be cited when Mathilde tells her husband, “Give the card to some friend at the office whose wife can dress better than I can.” It is an instance of verbal irony for the protagonist’s meaning differs sharply from the meaning that she is ostensibly expressing.
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.
