Necklace
... In the short story “The Necklace” by Guy De Maupassant, the protagonist Mathilde, like many, is a daydreamer. ... Her dreams were simple, but destroyed when she lost the necklace. At the time loosing the necklace was the worst thing that could have happened to her, or was it? When faced with this optical, she had to choose whether or not she tell Jeanne and possible be accused of steeling, or replace the necklace with a new one and do everything in her power to pay it off. ... She was so worried about what Jeanne, her supposed “friend”, would do or say when told her necklace was gone, that Mathilde did what was honorable.
