I agree with Bentley that the mood in this particular story is really influenced by the readers. I read this story with my students and the school is in a tough neighborhood in a rural community where the students are poor. My students felt that the mood was somehow a feeling of revenge the writer had for Mme. Loisel and that she got what she deserved. When asked if they felt her sadness or her regret at the lie she told and the predicament...

Madame Loisel feels that she was born for luxury. She is a beautiful woman and believes that she should be living an aristocratic life, draped in fine clothes, jewels and furs. She imagines herself to be living a life opposite of what her true destiny is, a life of meagerness.It is because of Madame Loisel's deeply held belief that life has cheated her out of her due, that results in her reaction to the invitation to the fancy party. ...

Guy de Maupassant was a French author. In the book, the necklace represented irony. Matilde had been working and slaving away to replace a necklace she thought was made of genuine jewels, when instead it was just made of paste. The necklace was basically worthless. Matilde, the maid, had spent her life working to repay this debt--the necklace asks readers to analyze what they are working for in life, and ask themselves if it is really worth...

The title of the story is great because the entire story is based on the fact that the main character, Madame Loisel, aspires to a higher station in life and borrows a diamond necklace from her friend, which she loses. She and her husband buy another necklace to replace the lost one and spend the rest of the next ten years in financial ruin paying for a necklace that she eventually learns was only a convincing copy.
