Detailed explanation-1: -It takes the two characters ten years to pay back all of the people they borrowed from to buy the replica. At the end of the story, when Mathilde tells Madame Forestier of the necklace replacement, she finds out that the original was a fake whose value, at best, was five hundred francs.
Detailed explanation-2: -She attends a reception with her friend Madame Forestier’s diamond necklace, but after losing it, she works to buy a new necklace, only to later discover the necklace she lost is fake.
Detailed explanation-3: -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. Monsieur Loisel is Mathilde’s husband and a government clerk.
Detailed explanation-4: -The conclusion shocked Mathilde because she couldn’t believe that the necklace, which she had believed to be priceless, was in fact a fake. Madame Forestier claps her hands together at the conclusion of her tale and informs Mathilde that the original necklace was only costume jewellery and had no real value.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
