describe how the story's setting impacts the actions of Mathilde and develops the stories plot From "The necklace"
Natali5045456 [20]

Explanation:

"The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant takes place in Paris at the end of the nineteenth century. The short story depicts the financial ruin of the Loisel family because of a lost necklace.

In fiction, the setting always provides important clues about literary elements like characters, plot, and theme. In a short story, setting is even more important, because it is crucial for the reader to use all of the information available to make inferences as quickly as possible.

Authors use time and place to create setting. "The Necklace" takes place at the end of the 1800s. In France, this was a period of prosperity, peace, and high fashion. Consumerism was on the rise, and even people of modest means aspired to join in the trends.
