Detailed explanation-1: -Loisel did the housework herself. To pay up for this money, the husband worked in the evenings by putting books of merchants in order and at night copying at five sous a page.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mr Loisel already had eighteen thousand francs, which his father had left him. He had to borrow the rest of the amount. He had to make devastating promises when he went to borrow money from usurers and the whole race of lenders. He paid thirty-six thousand francs to buy the new necklace.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mr and Mme Loisel replaced the necklace by buying a new one with the same design. The new necklace costed them 36000 francs. They had only about half the money. Mr Loisel borrowed rest of the money from usurers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mathilde Loisel dreams of being rich and is self-conscious about her middle-class status. She borrows Madame Forestier’s necklace to wear to a ball but loses it, then spends the next decade working to pay off the replacement, sacrificing her beauty and youth.
