The story begins with the exposition, where the main characters and the scene of the action are introduced. In this part the author describes Madam Mathilde Loisel, her lifestyle, and her feelings about it. "She was very suffered and she feels deeply discontented with her lot in life". The exposition begins with the words: "She was one of those pretty and charming girls, born by a blunder of destiny in a family of employees. She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of being known, understood, loved, married by a man rich and distinguished; and she let them make a match for her with a little clerk in the Department of Education." and it ends with the words : " She had no dresses, no jewelry, nothing. And she loved nothing else; she felt herself made for that only. She would so much have liked to please, to be envied, to be seductive and sought after. She had a rich friend, a comrade of her convent days, whom she did not want to go and see any more, so much did she suffer as she came away. And she wept all day long, from chagrin, from regret, from despair, and from distress."

"Mme. Loisel learned the horrible life of the needy. She made the best of it, moreover, frankly, heroically. The frightful debt must be paid. She would pay it. They dismissed the servant; they changed their rooms; they took an attic under the roof." After ten years she meets Madam Forestier in the park, but Madam doesn't recognize her because Mathilde changed a lot. mathilde tells the real story about the necklace - and this part of the story is the denouement.
The conclusion of the story begins with the words:
“You say that you bought a diamond necklace to replace mine?” “Yes. You did not notice it, even, did you? They were exactly alike?” And she smiled with proud and naïve joy. Mme. Forester, much moved, took her by both hands:— “Oh, my poor Mathilde. But mine were false. At most they were worth five hundred francs!”The conclusion of the story is not so as we expected. The Madame Forestier's necklace was not a real, it was just a fake and it coasted no more then 500 francs. |
