My tiny little Paper.

     The decade of labor and poverty presented in The Necklace is a result of

Mdm. Loisel’s lust for higher society and lack of integrity. In The necklace,

a reoccurring theme is introduced by the first sentence: One of greed and discontent.

Readers get the first dose of self pity as Madame Loisel feels deserving of

“…every delicacy and luxury…” (82)  resenting her humble circumstances and nursing the

misconception that she married beneath her social class, a "...little clerk in the Ministry of

Education." (82) As her Character develops, Madame Loisel’s lust for fame and acknowledgement

causes her to borrow a necklace from Madame Forstier and her carelessness and pride cause

her to seek alternative means of replacement rather than admit her folly.

Consequently, what could have been a bright and promising future for Madme Loisel was

transformed into something dark and ruled by obligation. Because Madame Loisel succumbed to

her  greed and pride, her future was drastically different than what it could have been had she

chosen the higher route of integrity and honesty.

Yeah. This is it. Had so much trouble with this.
