The Necklace- Question Answers


                    Q1)      What kind of a person is Mme Loisel — why is she always unhappy?
                    Ans)     Mme Loisel is a very unhappy and unsatisfied person. She is not happy with
                    her married life, her house or for that matter anything in her life. She always keeps on
                    dreaming  about  how  her  life  would  have  been  if  she  were  born  in  a  rich  house,
                    married in a rich house and had lots of money to buy things. She is a greedy woman
                    and always keeps on thinking of having more and more things.



                    Q2)      What kind of a person is her husband?
                    Ans)     Her husband is a very caring and a loving man. He is not greedy as he stays
                    happy with whatever he has. He appreciates the little things that life has given him and
                    does not want to see his wife unhappy for which he sacrifices his own needs.


                    Q3)      What fresh problem now disturbs Mme Loisel?

                    Ans)      Mme  Loisel’s  husband  agrees  to  buy  her  a  dress  worth  400  francs  and
                    sacrifices  his  own  requirement  of  buying  a  gun  but  Mme.  Loisel,  being  a  greedy
                    woman starts acting strangely and demands jewellery to wear or else she will not go to
                    the party.


                    Q4)      How is the problem solved?

                    Ans)     When she does not agree to wear flowers to the party, her husband suggests
                    her  to  approach  her  friend  Mme  Forestier  who  is  a  rich  lady  and  would  lend  her
                    jewellery to wear at the party.


                    Q5)      What do M. and Mme Loisel do next?
                    Ans)     Mr. and Mme. Loisel make a lot of efforts after they realize that they have lost
                    the  necklace.  They  try  to  remember  the  cab  number  so  that  they  can  check  there,
                    Mme. Loisel goes to the tracks where she could have dropped it,  reports at the police
                    station and cab offices. He also gives an advertisement in the newspaper saying that
                    the person who returns it will be rewarded but nothing works. So they finally decide to
                    replace the necklace by buying a necklace similar to the one they have lost.


                    Q6)      How do they replace the necklace?

                    Ans)      They  buy  a  necklace  from  a shop  for  36000  francs.  They  themselves  have
                    only 18000 francs so they borrow the rest of the money by making up false stories and
                    taking loans from a lot of lenders.
