"The Necklace," tells the story of a woman who borrowed a necklace from a friend and ended up breaking it. This woman is Madame Loisel and she borrowed the necklace to go to a fancy dinner at the company her husband works for. She had no jewelry and was embarrassed to look poor at dinner.
Madame Loisel believed that the necklace she broke was too expensive and she didn't have the courage to return the broken necklace to her friend, so she decided to work hard, in whatever job she could find, to be able to buy another necklace. She took a determined attitude and struggled to get the necessary money.
