Mathilde is an honest woman who seems never wanting to break a trust. Although she is poor, she is honest and hard-working. Mathilde doesn't want to be flattered by the rich life or of what she doesn't have. She classifies friendship as a very high priority.
My reaction at the end of the story was wide-eyed. It is almost like she could have told her the truth right after she had lost it and nothing would have been different.
Mathilde is a woman who respects her husband and wants to live a pure life. She doesn't complain because she is poor and she works hard. She is also thankful for the life she has.
I was very shocked and I felt sorry for The Loisel family. I never thought the ending would be that harsh.
Mathilde is woman who thinks nothing is good enough for her. She wants the best of everything despite she is poverty strucken. She is spoiled by her husband and treats him like he is crap.
The ending is what she deserves, but not her husband. They should have just gone to her in the 1st place.
Mathilde is a middle to lower class woman. She was ungrateful and envious. Her husband worked very hard to make sure Mathilde had what she needed, however, she always wanted to be envied and have jewels and nicer things. Even when she got invited to a ball, she complained that she had nothing to wear. Even when she had something to wear, she complained that she didn't have any jewels. She also wasn't honest because she didn't tell her friend that she had lost her necklace.
It was a shocking ending. I felt bad for the Loisels because they had worked so hard for something that could have very easily taken care of if the truth had been told. JS
Mathilde Loisel lived a life in the middle-upper class. Although, the life she was living was fine with : a servant, lodgings, and a rented garret under her roof, she still felt like none of that was good enough. She had low self-esteem and was very ungreateful for what God had blessed her with. Everytime her husband tried to please her (ex. getting her tickets to the ball, buying her a new dress) it still was never good enough. Toward the end of the story she became more whole as she started to have to be a working woman to pay their debt. She also became honest.
The end of the story was very shocking! I mean, they had to do all of that work for 10 years for basically nothing! I believe that if she would have told her friend the TRUTH and told her that she lost the necklace then she could have just paid the friend back the 500 francs instead of trying to work to pay all of the different people back for the 36 thousand francs they spent on the "necklace".
loisel is a very strong willed and demanding person. Whose husbands only job is to please her. They are not poor but people who want to fit in with the upper class. They do some things way out of their financial reach just to fit in. The end of the book was very easy to see. The whole book i knew there was a ironic ending coming. Also at the end you tend to feel bad about how much of their lives they wasted to pay off a necklace which was worth more then 36 times more then the first one. GJW
Mathilde Loisel is a woman that is unhappy. She wants to be wealthy and makes mistakes just to fit in. She worries too much about what other people think and is rude to her husband when he works so hard for her.
The ending was kind of frustrating because they spent so much time and money on something that was not even worth it.
Mathilde Loisel is a fairly wealthy woman who has a very low self-esteem. She has many things that most people would be grateful for, but she doesn't think they are quite enough. Despite this, I think she is a kind and caring woman.
At the end of the story, my reaction was that it was very ironic. I was annoyed because Mathilde and her husband went threw so much trouble trying to pay of their debt, when they wouldn't have needed to if they had known the actual cost of the original necklace.
Mathilde, at the beginning of the story, comes off as a greedy, selfish, self conscience woman. It seems as though she only cares about her self image and does not want ANYONE to know about her poverty. She was born poor, and knew she would always be poor. Going to the ball was a huge treat for her, but also a very great life-changing experience. She learned what it really felt like to work for what she wanted. Losing the necklace, also brought out her characteristic of being a very good friend. Although she was untwist worthy for not telling her friend what really happened to the necklace, she worked so hard to please her friend.
I liked the ending of the story because Mathilde really needed a reality check and needed to experience real, hard work. I also liked how she finally confessed to Madame Forestier how she lost the necklace. Through that, I feel Mathilde learned that she should just tell the truth in the beginning; it might save her ten years of labor.
Mathilde is a middle class woman that lives in paris with not a lot of extra money to spend on gowns and jewelry. She is needy and kind of feels sorry for her self to much. She is loyal for buying a new necklace. This story has so much irony. I liked the ending, the moral of this story is inspiring and i like the big twist at the end.
Mathilde is a very pretty women who treats her husband very poorly. He tries to give her what she wants, gowns and jewelry, but she takes all his hard-working to make her happy for granite. She's constantly looking around her, and is very insecure about what she's wearing or doing comparing herself to the wealthy people. She's always checking to make sure she's doing the same thing as them.
I thought the end of the story was well deserved, because the way she treated her husband. It showed her maybe telling the truth could have lead her to a much easier path of life then ten years of work.
Mathilde's husband it a clerk who minds his own business and tries to pleas his wife Mathilde. her husband is a whole hearted man who is very unselfish, and always puts his wife's needs before her own. AH
Mathilde is a stuck up woman, thinking she should have a good luxurious life. Instead she is stuck in poverty. She goes to a ball one night looses a friends necklace and pays $45,000 for a replacement. At the end of the story the necklace was more-less priceless. Now that is payback! -CD
