Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The story is ironic at the end because after she spends $36, 000 for the diamond necklace and works hard to pay her debt, the real necklace turns out to be at most $500.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: After having lost the borrowed necklace, Matilda replaced it with a diamond necklace bought for thirty-six thousand francs. But Mme Forestier told her that her necklace was false costing about 500 francs.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, after years of paying off the necklace, Mathilde learns that the necklace cost maybe 500 francs, which was approximately 100 USD. In today’s dollars, it is still a considerable amount of money-about 3, 000 dollars-but much less than the Loisels ended up paying.
Detailed explanation-4: -It was worth 40, 000 francs. They could have it for 36, 000 francs. They asked the jeweler to hold it for them for three days, and they stipulated that he should take it back for 34, 000 francs if the other necklace was found before the end of February. Loisel possessed 18, 000 francs left him by his father.
