Detailed explanation-1: -Mathilde borrows the necklace because she wants to give the appearance of being wealthy; Madame Forestier does not tell her up front that the necklace is fake, perhaps because she, too, wants to give the illusion of being wealthier than she actually is.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mathilde Loisel When she is invited to a fancy party, she borrows a necklace from her wealthy friend Madame Forestier because she refuses to go to the party without expensive jewels and a beautiful gown.
Detailed explanation-3: -’The Necklace’ Symbolism 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -It costs 40, 000 francs, although the jeweler says he will give it to them for 36, 000. The Loisels spend a week scraping up money from all kinds of sources, mortgaging the rest of their existence. After three days, Monsieur Loisel purchases the necklace.
