“The Necklace” Everywhere in the world, values ​​are expressed differently. Some people think that life is all about the little things that make them happy. Others think the opposite and believe that spending is the way to live. In the short story “The Necklace,” Guy de Maupassant develops a character, Madame Loisel, who illustrates his different styles of appreciation. Madame Loisel, a beautiful woman, lives in a magnificent house with all the necessary supplies for living. However, she is very unhappy with her life. She feels that she deserves a much more expensive and materialistic life than the one she has. After regretting not being the richest of her friends, she goes out and borrows a beautiful necklace from an ally. But since she loses the closest thing to the life she dreams of and doesn't tell her friend about this incident, she could have put ten years of work aside. Through many literary devices, de Maupassant sends a message to value less substantial items so that life can be spent wisely. “The Necklace” ends up being a very ironic story because it explains why valuing the most important things in life can be very effective for a person's happiness. An example of the irony of the story is when she is at the party dressed as a beautiful and classy woman. “She danced madly, wildly, drunk with pleasure, caring nothing about the triumph of her beauty, the pride of her success…” (p. 193). This is a form of dramatic irony because Guy explains earlier that Madame. Loisel is just a middle-class woman who dreams of a rich life, but she simply presents herself as a luxurious woman. Another example of irony in the story is when Madame discovered that the necklace was made of paste. On page 196, Ms. Forestier, Ma......in the middle of a sheet of paper......checks and expenses.The message of valuing the most important things in order to live a life wisely is very well demonstrated through literary devices in “The Necklace”, by Guy de Maupassant. Madame experiences an ironic moment in life when she learns what is worth valuing. She is a very greedy woman who only cares about herself. The reader would never think of her as the person responsible for doing the job, but that thinking changes as she misplaces what she considers a valuable item. If Madam would just learn to live her life in a way that doesn't upset her and to value the valuable things in life over spending, she would be better off. But this is how Madame sees her life, while others realize the importance of their lives. Values ​​are different among people around the world, and Guy de Maupassant defines this in his short story “The Necklace ».”.
