Detailed explanation-1: -Part B Which excerpt from “The Necklace” is an example of irony that has the effect identified in Part A? a. “You must write to your friend, ” he said, “and tell her that you’ve broken the clasp of the necklace and that you’re getting it mended. That’ll give us time to decide what to do."
Detailed explanation-2: -Perhaps the most bitter irony of “The Necklace” is that the arduous life that Mathilde must assume after losing the necklace makes her old life-the one she resented so fully-seem luxurious.
Detailed explanation-3: -i) What excuse did Loisels put up to explain the delay in returning the necklace? Answer: Loisels had lost the necklace and needed time to find an identical one. Thus, Loisels wrote a letter to Mme Forestier with an excuse that the clasp of the necklace was broken and they needed time to get it repaired.
Detailed explanation-4: -The necklace symbolizes the life that Madame Mathilde Loisel yearns for but cannot have, especially now that she has to repay the loans for losing the original necklace. Her greed for that life becomes the eventual demise of her life.
