But when Mme Loisel, says hello to her old friend she is not recognized by how run down she looks. This shows that lying does not do any good but makes it worse. Wealth makes some people greedy for going or doing something. Loisel is so worried about not having the proper attire for going to a fancy event with a lot of wealthy people. So she asks for money to go buy a nice evening dress because she does not have one so she offers to give the letter to someone else.
The reason why Mathilde Loisel character is important to the theme of story is because she strengthens the theme of the story. We can see through her life what might happen when you live in a fantasy. She had a modest life with no worries or hardships and sacrificed all that security to experience one night of pleasure, excitement, and fun. At the beginning of the story Madam Mathilde Loisel was craving a life of luxury, a life that she felt that she rightfully deserved. Her current modest life was unbearable and she felt that it was mistake that she was “born, as if by an error of destiny, into a family of clerks and copyists (Howe 250).
There is a saying that can be said for this situation which is that “material things never are happiness.” Sometimes the objects that a person can daydream about are the material possessions and different lifestyle classes like Mathilde did. This can be concluded when Virginia Brackett says, “She fantasizes details about the upper class based on stories she has heard, her daydreams containing a strong emphasis on material things.” Mathilde wishes she is someone else so she daydreams about luxury items she cannot have. Mathilde wants to be someone who is rich instead of someone who is poor.

Den, Barbara’s awkward and shy ex-lover, reappears in her life and provides a route to wealth for Barbara (in her own eyes). Her dogged determination and persistence to better herself sees Den as a way of paying for a deportment diploma to assist her with gaining employment at the swanky new hotel being built in town. Due to the negative circumstances her character is placed in, it has resulted in her deserting her mentally challenged daughter, Verge. Economic rationalism seemed to have only negative implications on Barbara’s life as she constantly struggles with relationships and self worth. Whilst focusing on the central metaphor – ‘diving for pearls’ it is made clear that for Barbara, pearls are not represented through spiritual wealth, rather economic wealth.
Nevertheless, there are few stories with unpredictable endings. One of them is “The Necklace” written by Guy De Maupassant. The ending of this story is so unpredictable that it almost has an effect of a shock on a reader. At the beginning of the story Mathilde Loisel is portrayed as a spoilt young woman whose only desire is to be accepted by the upper class society. Despite the fact that she was born in a family of clerks, she daydreams of luxury.
Also, in both stories, something goes wrong. In the Necklace, Mathilde loses the diamond necklace she has borrowed from Mrs. Forrestier and Arlene in Neighbours locks the key of the apartment inside on the apartment’s door. In the Necklace, Mathilde wants an expensive life. She goes as far as wanting a new dress to go to the dinner to which she and her husband are invited to and she doesn’t want to use the dress that she wears to the theatre. Mathilde also wants jewels to go with the dress hence the reason she goes to Mrs. Forrestier for jewellery in which she chooses what looks like the most expensive jewellery there.
With the ironic twist at the end, the author, all in all, perhaps wanted to put forward the idea that vanity ruins us all. “The Necklace” began with the description of Mathilde’s misery that “she suffered ceaselessly, feeling herself born for all the delicacies and all the luxuries”. Her vanity was clearly portrayed through her desire for expensive goods to accentuate her beauty more.Her desire for expensive materials, here vanity, made her unhappy and never satisfied with the life that her husband provided her. Never acknowledging her husband’s love for her, she denounced his immense appreciation for her ordinary cooking and his endeavor to manage an invitation to the Minister’s party. Mathilde directly exposed her vanity when she fell all over herself to show off how pretty both she and the necklace were, and she lost herself in the fleeting moment at the minister’s party.She suddenly came back to the world only after losing the necklace.
