The hostess's novel Jewelry depicts a pair of mediocre "little people" who love money more than anything else. There are two puzzles in the novel: at first, the husband and wife "love each other", and later the husband "loves success". The beginning of the novel plays up the harmonious and sincere feelings between husband and wife in many ways. Before marriage, the wife is "a model of a good wife and a good mother" and "has the purity of an angel". After marriage, the husband "lived an incredibly happy life" with "smart economic skills", "so much so that after six years of acquaintance, he loved him more than before". Then, gently point out his wife's shortcomings: love of the theatre, love of fake jewelry. But suddenly, she caught a cold in the theater. "The next day, he coughed. Eight days later, she died of pneumonia. "The result has been changed by this key. When a husband loses his wife, he is not only emotionally empty but also financially embarrassed. The salary that used to be enough is not enough for him to spend alone now. He was at a loss, borrowed money everywhere, and pursued it hard, so he had to sell the "fake" jewelry left by his wife before he got his salary. Unexpectedly, it dispelled the fog of "love" between husband and wife. It turns out that his wife's love for him is "fake" (in fact, his wife really loves him, and he thinks it is fake). The "fake" jewelry is real, which was bought by his wife at the price of love and color. The story may end here, but the author's scalpel has not been put down, it has penetrated into her husband's soul. The second illusion appeared again: after he knew that the jewels were real, he doubted his wife's chastity and fainted to the ground. It's really painful and embarrassing. However, when he was walking in the street, he saw the rich man look carefree, envious and carefree. He bought all his wife's collars and other jewels in desperation and got a huge sum of nearly 20 gold francs. At this time, the previous shock, shame and sadness were all swept away by his greed for money. He not only accepted the jewels cheated by his wife with a clear conscience, but also shamelessly boasted about them. At this point, love, family, reputation ... are all fake, only jewelry, only money is real. Personally, it is ironic that the man is gradually blinded by the temptation of money and is greedy for benefits.
