The Necklace by Guy De Maupassant Reflection


In the story “The Necklace” I learned some valuable lesson on lieing.It’s just like saying trouble is so easy to get in but too hard to get out. As the best example in the story are Mr. and Mrs Loisel.

   As we know in the beginning of the story they were known as Middle class people but because of lying and dishonest action, they lost everything.From poor to a more poorer condition. But we should agree Mrs.Loisel should be blame for everything because throughout the beginning of the whole story you can say she wore the pants.Even though Mr.Loisel was the man, the story did not play out this way because she was never happy and never had nothing good to say about her husband even though I thought he was a good man that any women would have wish to have especially in these days.He worked all the time and tried everything in his ability to make her happy,but nothing help because of Mrs Loisel greediness. 

   The point that I am trying to make is ,when her husband gave her the wrong advice about lieing to her friend about the necklace being broken she should have spoken up just like she spoke up when he came home with the invitation to the Ball. But the author wanted to make it more complicated when Mr Loisel asked Mrs Loisel to lie about  the necklace. Mr Loisel should say no baby i think it’s a bad idea to lie about the necklace being broken and lets just tell her true. If they would have just told the truth they would’ve never been in financial battle they are in now.  They need to do all kinds of work and always being in hard situation for 10 years just to pay debt for a fake necklace.
