The Necklace
In the story The Necklace, Mme Loisel had reasons why the necklace meant so much to her. Wearing the jewelry put her in a state of ecstasy and there were many examples.
Mme. Loisel thought it was very humiliating to look poor among other women who were rich. Even though she wasnt poor, she wanted to live the rich and glamorous lifestyle like the other women she has seen. She would always cry to her husband about something she wanted. She also wanted to be noticed by the people that attended the ball, but couldnt because she didnt have the dress she wanted.
It was annoying to her too see other women with sparking and expensive pieces of jewelry. Without the dress and necklace she wanted, she didnt want to go anywhere at all. She wanted to look glamorous like other women attending the ball. Her friend Mme. Forestier was rich and had a lot of jewels in her jewelry box and asked her to borrow the necklace she liked.
The necklace meant a lot to Mme. Loisel. She became a different person with the borrowed necklace. At the ball she began to flaunt herself as rich woman. People started to notice her as she becomes the life of the party. The borrowed necklace meant so much to her because she wanted to look and feel glamorous. She felt she didnt have things she wanted and also cared what people saw in her.

She felt as complete with that necklace and new dress as she danced around the ballroom. She never had been through such an experience in life and thats made her intoxicated with pleasure. With the borrowed necklace she felt like the princess of the ball. She also felt she succeeded in want she wanted to become at the ball.
