the story is mainly about the beautiful mathilde, but because he was poor, he could not marry a good family. finally he married a small clerk in the ministry of education. mathilde later borrowed a diamond necklace from a friend in order to show his presence in a department dance. however, after the misunderstanding came back, i found the necklace missing. so, in order to redeem the necklace, mathilde spent ten years of youth and effort, but finally realized that the necklace was actually a fake.
poor marty! just for a diamond necklace, she gave her ten years of youth. ten years later, she was no longer young and beautiful anymore. in maupassants words, she lost the only capital to be a lady. she sacrificed her youth for this diamond necklace. in fact, in other words, she does not have to pity her. her excessive vanity leads her to taste the bitter fruit of fate. but what is gratifying is that mathilde came to maturity after all the hardships.
after reading the story, everyone might think that all the evil results were caused by the vain love of rosse wahl, so she was not worth the pitiful, even a bit of mockery in the laughter. but, the mind slowly fluttered out a question: what was the power of a delicate and delicate woman who would choose to repay the road? they had no hesitation, and they quietly chose a thorny way of life to walk each day with their lips. hard labor and life drew back her unrealistic fantasies from the clouds to the solid ground. at this point i could not help but applaud rosa wahl.
at this time, in my mind, when rosse wahl told his friend ten years later to confess that the necklace was the other one, she had a smile of pride and innocence. perhaps this was the most beautiful smile in the world. although luo sewalls appearance had not been bought in the year, she had a self at this time. respecting the noble spirit. in the balance of beauty and personality, she did not hesitate at all, and said decisively, "return!"
after the necklace is lost, the two codes of youthful beauty and dignity are placed on the balance of life, forcing her to make a choice. she decided to give up her youth and choose dignity. the most important moment in life is to learn to give up and give up is also a kind of beauty. so is it very small for her to "destroy" her or to fulfill her? at first, mathilde was captured by a strong and fearful vanity. later, she made a surprising decision without hesitation. finally, when she met her friend who was still young and beautiful, when she learned the truth about the fake necklace, she had a bright and innocent smile on her face. the smile was her confidence and pride.
the novels thought-provoking part is that we have seen a heart of gold in a dirty, false, worship society, a lotus flower that is not dyed with mud. unfortunately, mathilde was unfortunate that she was unfortunate to add trouble to what she couldnt get, and she was a lucky man, the cruel reality made her sober, life was not just the illusion of the fog, but more step by step.

“what would have happened if she hadn’t lost that necklace? who knows? who knows? how strange and changeful is life! how small a thing is needed to make or ruin us!” this is what impressed me most in “the necklace” written by guy de maupassant. i love the story not only due to the incredibly wonderful ending, but also because of the exquisite description of the weakness of humanity.
in his story, guy de maupassant creatively reveals mathilde loisels dreams of a wealthy, splendid lifestyle. mathildes lifetime of misery and despair is solely caused by her own selfish acts. and her vain obsession all ended up ruining her life.
vanity is defined as excessive pride, especially in your appearance. in mathildes case, the "excessive pride" in her looks and charm caused her to feel as if she deserved a higher ranking social class and the wealth. when she wore the necklace to the party, she wanted to give the illusion that she was something that she was not. vanity caused mathilde to fantasize about her life and surroundings-to live in a world of illusion, rather than reality.
