Inner Peace
by Joshua Fraser (August, 2018)

Test III. A. Essay
Instructions: Read the lines in the story “The necklace by Guy de Maussapant ”.
Answer the following questions in 1-2 sentences.
“The necklace”
One day her husband brings home an invitation to a ball. He thinks his wife will be excited
to attend such a fancy party, but instead she is upset. She complains that she has nothing
suitable to wear to such an extravagant occasion. Her kind husband agrees to give her the
four hundred francs that he had been saving to buy a new rifle to get herself a gown.
The week of the party, Mathilde seems anxious again. When her husband asks her why,
she frets that she has no jewelry to wear with her dress. He suggests that perhaps she
could borrow something from her friend Jeanne Forestier. Mathilde goes to Jeanne's house
and picks out a sparkling diamond necklace to borrow.
She and her husband attend the gala and have a fabulous time. She loves amazing and
dances all night. Finally, they head home in the wee hours of the morning. When they arrive
home, Mathilde realizes that the necklace is missing. They wonder if it fell off in the carriage
that they took home, but neither of them noticed the number. Her husband goes out to
search the streets but returns empty handed. To stall for time, Mathilde writes to her friend
that she broke the clasp and is having it repaired. In the meantime, they find another
necklace that matches the missing one, but it costs thirty-six thousand francs. Her husband
fortunately inherited eighteen thousand francs from his father, but they will need to borrow
the rest of the money. Finally, they have enough to purchase the replacement necklace and
Mathilde gives it to Jeanne who doesn't even look at it.
The next ten years Mathilde's life changes dramatically. They move to a smaller apartment
where she has to cook and clean for herself. She also does work on the side while her
husband works multiple jobs to pay back all the money they borrowed. After the ten years,
the money is all paid back, but Mathilde has aged a great deal.
One day she sees Jeanne Forestier on the street. She decides to tell her the truth about the
necklace. Jeanne is stunned by Mathilde's rough appearance. Mathilde explains that it is
indirectly because of Jeanne since she lost the necklace she borrowed from her and had to
pay for a replacement. Shocked, Jeanne confesses that the necklace Mathilde borrowed
was a fake, made of paste, worth no more than five hundred francs.
