Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The main difference between Mathilde and her husband in “The Necklace” boils down to lifestyle. Mathilde cares about status much more than her husband; while he is content living a comfortable yet simple life, Mathilde would prefer marrying a millionaire and living large.
Detailed explanation-2: -One way that Mathilde attitudes changes is that she was very arrogant and only cared about having money and with it, buying expensive things, but in the final she actually became a woman that actually cared about essential things for doing with her money.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mathilde is a raging, jealous woman who will do anything in her power to reverse the “mistake of destiny” that has plunged her into what she perceives as a wholly inappropriate and inadequate life.
Detailed explanation-4: -What does the conversation between Mathilde and her husband in paragraphs 10-13 reveal about the characters’ different points of view regarding the party? The conversation illustrates that both characters are concerned about how the other will behave at the party.
Detailed explanation-5: -The opinion we get from Mathilde’s husband is that he is loving, caring, supporting and hardworking. We see how he gives Mathilde the four hundred francs which he had saved up for his gun so that Mathilde may have her dress. When she is in distress he tries to comfort her and do whatever is possible in his means.
