The Necklace | Related Titles/Adaptations

Readers who have enjoyed this story would be particularly advised to read Maupassant's story "Boule de Suif" and any of dozens of his short stories. A teacher would be well advised to assign both this story and "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin in her short story collection The Wind's Twelve Quarters for comparative study, as both stories discuss the relative and absolute values of material wealth as compared to human misery.
