make his wife pleased and happy. It begins when the husband got invitation
letter from the place he works. He came home in a very good mood in hope that
his wife will be delighted because his wife never goes out. But sadly, his wife
didn’t happy at all. Instead his wife felt very humiliated because she hasn’t a
dress and she can’t go to this party. Because of that he gives his wife four
hundred francs to buy a really nice dress. So it is true because of love we

- QUESTIONS
1.
How
do you feel after reading the story?
I was full in enthusiasm to read the story, The Necklace because the title sounds so interesting and unique. The Necklace is symbolic of envy, irony and the story describes what can happen when envy gets the best of us. this story is about pretty Mathilde Loisel who was born into a family of clerks. she is a simple women because she unable to afford any of other. Although she has a comfortable home and warm, loving husband, she is unhappy that she didn't owned the wealth. Her desire for wealth is a high. She cannot visit her wealthy friend Madam Forestier without being overcome jealousy and the idea of going to a party without expensive clothes drive her to tears. One day, Monsieur Loisel, his husband come home bearing the invitation to the party, he expects Mathilde to be excited and is shocked when she is devastated. Her husband knows when it comes to wealth its fully with dissatisfaction. However, he still doing his best to compliment her. Mathilde is happy at only one point, on the night of the party, when her new dress and borrowed jewels from Madam Forestier give her at appearance of belonging to the wealthy world she aspires to. Fully at case among the wealthy people at the party, Mathilde feels that this exactly where she was meant to be. she forgets her old life completely. Her moment of happiness, of course is fleeting and she must spend the next ten years paying for the pleasure of this night. However, Mathilde was oblivious to the small pleasure that her life once afforded her, she is oblivious to the fact that her greed and deception finally arrives.
2. Write
the ending of the story?
If I write this ending this
story, I write "Oh, my poor Mathilde! But mine was imitation. It was worth
at the very most five hundred francs! It is not enough that you paid. "Madam
Forestier continue talk" how you can get rid of my favourite things? Do
you know someone who does not care other people's things?" mad Madam
Forestier. "You not only eliminate them but you also do not return and do
not tell me these things earlier. I do not believe this kind of behaviour
you". Mathilde cry and feel so sad. She don't know how to said. She really
feel guilt and fear. She fear that Madam
Forestier don't want being friend with her.
She said "Oh, my friend Madam Forestier" tears flowed.
"Please forgive me, give me something chance to replace your necklace,
give me order or something that make you happy," she continue cry. Madam
Forestier said" my dear Mathilde, don't worry about it I just take the
money that same value with the necklace". Mathilde feel surprise and look
at Madam Forestier. "But I do not
want to give any things borrowings to you again." Mathilde feel happy ad
in deep of her heart she feel relieved.
3. Who is your favourite character and why do you like the character?
My favourite character in this story is Mathilde's husband. This is because he had good manner and good husband. He do anything for his wife. He is willing to buy luxury clothes for his wife to go to the party. He also gives money to his wife to buy something that she want. The first thing that I like Mathilde's husband is he work for the replace the necklace that Mathilde lost it. He really take a good care about his wife even though he poor.
