Michael+Necklace

The necklace was a story about a woman who was poor and was invited to a party and she didn’t have anything to wear. She asked her poor husband to buy her a dress and he had 400 francs that he was saving for a gun, but gave it to her anyway. After she got the dress she was still depressed because she wanted jewelry. After she borrowed a diamond necklace from her friend she went to the party and came home and found she had lost it. She spent ten years to pay for a new one which cost 36,000 francs. After she was finished paying her debt she saw her friend and told her the whole story and she laughed and said it was only worth 500 francs. This story is just about a woman loosing a cheap necklace then paying for an expensive one to replace it or is it? She was not content with what she had so she complained until her husband felt really bad for her and bought her what she wanted. Her lust for something so out of reach left her husband poor. When she lost the necklace she did not want to tell her friend that she lost a very expensive necklace when if she would have done that she would of saved 36,000 francs. This symbolizes that the necklace is what you desire but you cant let anyone know you lost what you most desire. and that what you most desire can bring you to an end
