The narrator speaks of a female woman Mathilde Loisel and refers to her as she (Omniscient Third Person).
She was simple, pretty and charming. Her beauty, her grace, and charm served her instead of birth and fortune.
She suffered intensely, feeling herself born for every delicacy and every luxury.
Instead she suffered from the poverty of her dwelling. She had no dresses, no jewelry, nothing. And she loved nothing else; she felt herself made for that only.
One evening her husband came from his work, a little clerk in the Department of Education, with an invitation to pass an evening with the Minister of Education at the Palace of the Ministry.
Instead of being delighted, as her husband hoped she threw the invitation on the table with annoyance. She looked at him with irritated eyes and declared she had no proper dress Her husband gave her his savings for a pretty dress. The day of the party drew near. Yet her dress was ready but she seemed sad. It annoyed her not to have a jewel, not a single stone, to put on. Her husband cried: -Go find your rich friend, Mme. Forester, and ask her to lend you some jewelry,.
She discovers at Mme. Forester's, in a box of black satin, a superb necklace of diamonds which she borrows.
The day of the party arrived. She was a success. She was the prettiest of them all. She danced with delight intoxicated with pleasure. She went away about four in the morning. Her husband had been waiting in a little anteroom.
She takes off her wraps, which covered her shoulders, before her mirror. She no longer had the necklace around her throat.
Terror- stricken they searched in the folds, and in the pockets, everywhere. They did not find it. Her husband went back the whole distance. He had found nothing.
He went to the police headquarters, to the newspapers to offer a reward, to the cab company; he did everything. At the end of the week they lost hope.
