Detailed explanation-1: -Point of View and Narrator in “The Necklace" In Guy de Maupassant’s The Necklace the author utilizes a third person narrator who possesses a limited omniscience (1010). This narrator is exposed through the fact that there is never an “I” in the story.

Detailed explanation-2: -Guy de Maupassant’s short story, ‘’The Necklace, ” is written from third person limited. We only see the thoughts of Mathilde and her husband. The POV is crucial to the plot because we have to see the thoughts of Mathilde and her husband in order for the story to be impactful.
