"The Necklace"

The short story The Necklace was a very stimulating piece of work. It teaches the lessons of hardships, learning not to lie, and how to pay people back. In this story, the main characters lose a supposed expensive necklace and lie until they can retrieve a brand new one to pay the owner back. After all the hard work and tough times, the couple pays off all the debts the expenses from the new necklace. …

…all the hardships and tough times had they told the truth and taken the blame for what was coming to them. Instead, they went through and elaborate plan just to get a new necklace. Actually finding out that you replaced a very cheap imitation with the most expensive replica must be tough, but what is done is done and there is nothing that can be done about it now. Maupassant, Guy De. "The Necklace". Literature
