Detailed explanation-1: -What is Monsieur Loisel’s solution to his wife’s problem? He is going to sell his gun to buy her a dress.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mme Loisel wanted four hundred Francs to buy a new dress. Mr. Loisel had saved the exact money to buy a gun to join hunting parties but he sacrificed his desire for the happiness of his wife. He gave her the money to buy a dress and further suggested her to borrow some jewellery from her friend, Mme Forestier.
Detailed explanation-3: -The money he gives her for a dress had been earmarked for a gun, but he sacrifices this desire without a word-just as he mutely sacrifices any hope of happiness after he buys the necklace.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Loisels had to buy a diamond necklace for thirty-six thousand francs to replace the one that was lost. Matilda had to cut down on the household expenses and save money while Mr Loisel worked overtime and did copying work at nights. In this way, they could repay the money in ten years.
Detailed explanation-5: -M. Loisel solved his problem by advising her to request her friend, Mme Forestier to lend her some jewels.
