उत्तर
This fantastic tragic story by the master of short stories, Guy de Maupassant, is a tale with a twist at the end, showcasing human behaviour and perceptions. Even by event, we see Mathilde's life changing. Firstly, we see her bad luck being born into a middle-class family. Secondly, her marriage to a clerk, next to the invitation, the borrowing of a necklace from her friend, losing that necklace at the party and finally, instead of honestly revealing the truth to her friend, she, along with her husband, went ahead and purchased a replica of the necklace which in reality was a fake.
