The Necklace
Guy de Maupassant
(Summary)
The short story "The Necklace" by Guy De Maupassant takes place in France
several hundred years ago. Mathilde Loisel lives in a flat with her husband, who
works as a clerk for the Minister of Education. Their lives are not luxurious, but they
are not poor, merely simple. Mathilde, however, longs to be rich. She envies her friend
11
One day, her husband brings home an invitation to a ball. He thinks his wife
will be excited to attend such a fancy party, but instead she is upset. She complains
that she has nothing suitable to wear to such an extravagant occasion. Her kind
husband agrees to give her the four hundred francs that he had been saving to buy
The week of the party, Mathilde seems anxious again. When her husband
asks her why, she frets that she has no jewelry to wear with her dress. He suggests
that perhaps she could borrow something from her friend Jeanne Forestier. Mathilde
goes to Jeanne's house and picks out a sparkling diamond necklace to borrow.
She and her husband attend the gala and have a fabulous time. She loves
amazing and dances all night. Finally, they head home in the wee hours of the
morning. When they arrive home, Mathilde realizes that the necklace is missing. They
wonder if it fell off in the carriage that they took home, but neither of them noticed
the number. Her husband goes out to search the streets but returns empty handed.
To stall for time, Mathilde writes to her friend that she broke the clasp and is having
it repaired. In the meantime, they find another necklace that matches the missing
one, but it costs thirty-six thousand francs. Her husband fortunately inherited
eighteen thousand francs from his father, but they will need to borrow the rest of the
money. Finally, they have enough to purchase the replacement necklace and
The next ten years Mathilde's life changes dramatically. They move to a
smaller apartment where she has to cook and clean for herself. She also does work
on the side while her husband works multiple jobs to pay back all the money they
borrowed. After the ten years, the money is all paid back, but Mathilde has aged a
great deal.
12
One day she sees Jeanne Forestier on the street. She decides to tell her the
Mathilde explains that it is indirectly because of Jeanne since she lost the necklace
she borrowed from her and had to pay for a replacement. Shocked, Jeanne confesses
that the necklace Mathilde borrowed was a fake, made of paste, worth no more than
