Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The necklace symbolizes the wealth and status that Mathilde longs for but cannot attain. The coat that her husband gives her at the end of the party symbolizes their current life, which Mathilde hates, and the mediocre social status she wants to escape from.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
