Why and how did Della sell her hair? Do you think she did well?

उत्तर
Della sells her hair to Madame Sofronie for twenty dollars, which was just enough money to buy a platinum fob chain form which costs twenty-one dollars. Della made a mistake by selling her hair because Jim had brought a comb for her. Which becomes useless since she already cut off her hair.
