Mathilde complains about her level of wealth and says she needs better clothes for the ball. Mathilde’s husband seems to accept their lot in life, and their economic status. Mathilde wants more. She feels as if she was born into the wrong life, and she should never have been of such low status as to marry a clerk. She was meant for wealth and happiness. When Monsieur Loisel brings his wife tickets to a fancy ball, he expects her to be...

One large metaphor from the story is the invitation that Monsieur Loisel brings home to his wife. It is literally a ticket into a party where all the "really big people" will be, but it is metaphorically a ticket into 10 years of hard labor and degradation.

Bernie Madoff is a fraudster who ran a Ponzi scheme that stole billions of dollars from investors and landed him in prison. Madoff founded an investments firm in the 1960 that defrauded its clients for over 20 years (possibly from as early as the 1970s); his company produced false earnings reports for investors that claimed uncharacteristically high dividends. In fact, Madoff was misappropriating the investments, resulting in thousands of...

The narrative technique in the short story "The Necklace" is a third person omniscient point of view or perspective. This is an appropriate technique since Madame Loisel nor her husband would be reliable narrators.
