In the story, "The Necklace" the necklace that Madame Loisel borrows symbolizes wealth, power, and what could be. For Madame Loisel getting the necklace was such a wonderful gift, when she was at the party she felt so amazing. She wished she could be rich forever. But then, when the fantasy ended, she was left right back where she started. She was really depressed. Then when she lost the necklace, she was so anxious. After working so hard and wearing down her body for 10 years just to pay back the money they owned for the borrowed necklace, she realized how good she had it. With the necklace on, she felt unstoppable, rich, and so powerful. With the necklace gone, she felt like she was a nobody, poor and worthless. With the necklace on she could pretend that she was weathy. With the necklace on, she realized what could be, if only she had married somebody richer, if only her life was like this everyday. If only, if only. She kept thinking about what could be if her life really was that great. If she had the kind of money that Madame Forestier had. She was never happy with what she had. She wanted to be the very best, the richest person there was. Therefore, the necklace symbolized how great her life could be if only the necklace was hers.
