The novel's objective and true description and meaningful satire not only reflect the social outlook of France in the late19th century from one side, but also leave a broad space and room for deep thinking for readers to participate in the re-creation of the works.
Content introduction:
Mrs. Langdan is a virtuous middle-class woman who has two hobbies that her husband is not satisfied with. One is the love of the theater, and the other is the love of fake jewelry. One winter night, she came back from the theater, caught a cold and pneumonia, and died a week later. Mr. Langdan, who is not good at managing money, is short of money. When he is in a hurry, he makes up his mind to sell his things and live in francs. His first thought was his wife's fake jewelry, which made him very angry. He decided to sell the big necklace that she seemed particularly fond of, because the fake thing was exquisitely made and might be worth seven or eight francs. How did I know that the fake jewelry was identified by a jewelry store, and it turned out to be real jewelry. Lang Dan was shocked. When he took the jewelry to another store, the shopkeeper recognized that it was sold in their store. I asked and checked the ledger. It's a real piece of jewelry. Mr. Landan was very surprised. Jane was really crazy. On her way home, she made several mistakes and finally fainted. Fortunately, a passer-by carried him into the drugstore and sent him home after waking up.
Sadness and fatigue are like a heavy hammer, which keeps him from falling asleep until the next day. Unable to do any more, he weighed it again, went into the jewelry store, sold the big necklace, and sold all the jewelry left by his wife (almost all of which were sold in this store) to this store. He resigned and told the section chief that he had inherited 300,000 francs, announced his future plans to his colleagues, and spent the night with several prostitutes. Half a year later, he remarried. His stepwife was a virtuous woman, but his bad temper made him miserable.
