Detailed explanation-1: -Matilda told her the whole story. Shocked at the story, Mrs. Forestier told her a shocking truth, the diamond necklace that she had lent to Matilda had been made of artificial diamonds and was worth only five hundred francs.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Mme Loisel had no one, it was Mme Forestier who helped her. She let her try all her jewels and asked her to borrow whichever she liked the most.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Mme Forestier is a rich lady. She is a good friend of Matilda. She agrees to lend her necklace to Matilda to be worn at a party.
Detailed explanation-4: -Upset at her displeasure, Loisel gives her 400 francs (approx. $2, 531.20 USD in 2022) – all the money he had been saving to go hunting with his friends – so she can buy a dress. Even after Mathilde does so, she is still unhappy because she has no jewels to wear with it.
Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: The story is ironic at the end because after she spends $36, 000 for the diamond necklace and works hard to pay her debt, the real necklace turns out to be at most $500.
