The sad/ Funny part about this Short story is, that there is a woman named ''Mathilde an she is very snobbish. She Has a rich Husband named Loisel. Mathilde was invited to a event. She wanted to look perfect, but she had nothing to wear, as a solution she asked her husband for money to buy a expensive gown. He did not mined a gave her the money. she bought the dress. She did not have any necklaces, and her husband was not going to give her the money for the necklace therefore she went to borrow one from her friend Madame Jeanne Forestier. The necklace is very expensive. She goes to the party and everyone loves her outfit. When she gets home the necklace is gone.She was looking everywhere for the necklace. To buy her self some time she told her friend that it was getting repaired because it broke. Her Husband and her couldn't Find The necklace, so they started looking for a store that had that necklace, they found one but the necklace was really expensive, it cost 36,000 francs. Therefore her husband used all of his savings and borrowed money from people. The Couple fired the maid. Mathilde has to do all the chores at home. After 10 years they had payed all there depth. Mathilde Looks older than she is, she has dried fingers,skin etc. She went to her friend one day who she borrowed the necklace from and told her the story, and she said “Oh, my poor Mathilde. But mine was false. At most, it was worth five hundred francs!”
I found that so funny, but also sad, because all that pain she went through was for nothing.
When she was dancing at the party.
