Mathilde has a vanity side. She borrowed a necklace because of vanity. I lost my necklace because I was vain; Losing the necklace is vanity's punishment for her; After ten years of bitterness, I found that what I worked so hard for turned out to be a fake necklace, which was another blow to her by vanity.
But Mathilde also has a lovely side, and the author criticizes and sympathizes with her. After losing the necklace, Mathilde moved from vanity to reality, from self-pity to self-esteem, and became mature in real life, revealing the author's praise for her. The novel praises the beauty of human nature from the criticism in front to the praise in the back. The lost necklace was a fuse that ignited an unpretentious thing in Mathilde's heart.
Of course, the author attacked the vain society at that time through Mathilde, which gave people infinite enlightenment and thinking.
2. Analysis of the characters in The Necklace: There are many explanations about the theme of Mo Bosang's novel The Necklace.
Some people think that "the novel sharply satirizes vanity and the pursuit of pleasure." This view is obviously a reflection of the view of "living a poor life and enjoying happiness" that existed in the era before the reform and opening up, and fewer and fewer people agree with it so far.
As a result, the following viewpoints have appeared recently: (1) I think novels tell readers that people's fate is arranged by unexpected "nature". 2. Mathilde's tragic image points out that in the capitalist society centered on money, the only way out for women is decorations.
(3) The novel is regarded as an ode to sincere love. ④ (4) The novel tells readers through the image of Mathilde that in the social club E5A48DE 588B66216964757A 68696416F3133236356535, the pursuit of personal dignity will pay a huge price.
Although these statements try to explain the theme from the novel text and the interpretation of the protagonist image, they fail to grasp the main connotation of the protagonist image, so they are still not in place. So what are the connotations of the image of the heroine Mathilde? First, Amy's novels create the heroine image from the perspective of "the beauty of women's day".
The first six paragraphs prove this point. The beginning is divided into three layers.
The first layer is one or two natural segments. It says that she was born in a small clerk's family and married a small clerk, so she won't pay attention to dressing up. "She feels very unfortunate." Why? "Because in women, beauty, charm and charm are their origins; Natural intelligence, graceful posture and gentle temperament are their only qualifications. " The cloud in On Women shows that the novel shapes the image of the heroine from the perspective of female nature.
So the third paragraph (paragraphs 3 to 5) on the second floor begins: "She feels that she was born to live an elegant and luxurious life". Isn't the so-called "life" just "nature" and "nature" Obviously, "elegant and luxurious life" can only be interpreted as "beautiful life" in the context. The novel then uses three, four and five natural paragraphs to describe her crazy dream of a better life of food, clothing, housing and transportation and express her strong desire for beauty.
Finally, the sixth paragraph is the third floor. Write about her pain after coming back from her rich girlfriend's house to compare the meaning. At the beginning, a key is preset for readers to interpret the heroine, that is, the heroine portrayed in the necklace has the nature that women love beauty.
After the novel enters the plot, it fully shows that Mathilde is a woman who loves beauty. Making new clothes and borrowing necklaces is not a concrete manifestation of her love for beauty. Mathilde's choice of jewelry vividly describes her love for beauty.
Facing the dazzling beautiful world, she has a hesitant attitude of "first look", "second look" and "second look". What makes her happy is the heartbeat when she sees the diamond necklace. She puts on the necklace and looks at herself in the mirror, and jumps, hugs, kisses and runs after borrowing the necklace. The excitement and intoxication of dancing at the party pushed her love of beauty to * * *.
After returning home, before removing makeup, she "took a look at herself while this dazzling dress was still on her body", and she loved beauty to the point of being reluctant to part. Even though she was in trouble because of her lust for beauty, she "recalled the dance that year." How beautiful and charming she was that night! " Mathilde loves beauty without regret! Secondly, Mathilde is a simple woman.
She changed from a shop assistant's woman to another shop assistant's wife, living in a shop assistant's family. Therefore, she is narrow-minded, inexperienced, poorly educated and unfamiliar with the complex external world. The love of beauty is innate and does not need training: how to love beauty, such as how to distinguish between true and false jewelry, needs education.
Mathilde obviously lacks this lesson, and the living environment of the small staff is unlikely to give her this lesson. Besides, Mathilde has never experienced complicated ups and downs in the world. Although she has become Madame Loire, she is still as simple as a girl.
To make a new dress, you can only ask your husband's permission with tears; Without jewelry and wanting it, she showed helpless distress. After her husband came up with the idea of borrowing money, "she gave a cry of surprise."
Really! I didn't think of that! Didn't the words "unexpectedly" clarify the simplicity of her thinking? After borrowing the necklace, she jumped, hugged, kissed and ran, and vividly wrote a simple woman image, just like an innocent girl. When she bought a real necklace and returned it to her girlfriend, she was worried that her girlfriend would treat her as a thief, and the heroine's innocence almost reached the point of pedantry.
Ten years later, she told her girlfriend the truth about the loss of the necklace, and the novel wrote: "She smiled with an innocent and complacent expression." Isn't the innocent smile engraved with the word "simplicity"? Because of simplicity, she doesn't know that the outside world is complicated and mixed, so there is no concept of "fake" in her mind, let alone distinguish between true and false jewelry.
Otherwise, she can't afford real jewelry. Why can't she think of buying cheap and good imitation jewelry? Why didn't she think she would get used to jewelry when she chose jewelry for her girlfriend? When the jeweler boss hinted, why didn't she think that the lost necklace might be a fake? In fact, as long as the following are enough to show that she is a simple woman: when she lost her necklace, her husband took out "18 thousand francs left by her father." This is a lot of property in a small staff family, but Mathilde, as a housewife, knows nothing about it. Isn't this pure and excellent evidence? Mathilde is like a mountain stream before paying off debts, clear but not easy to understand; Like flowers in a greenhouse, beautiful and delicate.
Thirdly, after losing the necklace once and for all, Mathilde's living environment has changed greatly, and a new character has appeared-forever. In order to pay off her debts, she is not discouraged, pessimistic, devious, and does not sell her beautiful and moving appearance (beautiful appearance is priceless property in a commodity society).
She relied entirely on her own will, spirit and strength, and relied on her own hands to "save her hard-earned money one by one." She made up her mind and did not move.
3. Mo Bosang's "Necklace" composition chain [France] Mo Bosang's beautiful and moving women are often destined to be born in a family of small staff; That's what we're talking about now.
She has no dowry assets, no hope, and no way for a rich and prestigious person to know her, understand her, love her and marry her; Finally, she will marry a small clerk in the Ministry of Education. Can not pay attention to decoration, she is simple, but unfortunately like a fallen woman; Because women have no class, no family distinction, their beauty, their charm, their temptation is only for their birth and family background.
Their natural agility, outstanding instinct and submissive mind constitute their only rank, and they can elevate women among the people to the height of the highest lady. She felt that she was born for all the beautiful and luxurious things, so she felt pain.
She was very sad because of the shabby house, rough walls, outdated furniture and vulgar materials. All this may not be noticed by another woman in her position, but she is very sad and annoyed. Brittany's appearance of Meidochan, who helped her with trivial housework, caused her all kinds of sad regrets and cranky thoughts.
She dreamed of those quiet reception rooms, how to cover them with oriental curtains, how to light bronze high-legged lamps, how to send two tall waiters in shorts to take orders, and the hot air heater made both waiters doze off in the big round back chair. She dreams of a large living room covered with ancient wall clothes and exquisite furniture with priceless porcelain bottles; She dreams of those exquisite and fragrant small living rooms, where she can chat with kind boyfriends and famous men who are envied by women and eager to see them at five o'clock in the afternoon.
However, in fact, every day when eating, she sits at the small round table opposite her husband. It took three days to change the white cloth on the table. As soon as the husband lifted the lid of Tang Chi, he said cheerfully, "Ha! Good broth! There is nothing better in the world ... "So she dreamed of a rich and exquisite banquet, brilliant silverware, embroidered with fairyland-like gardens, ancient ladies and exotic birds; She dreamed of the delicious food on expensive plates and the sweet words she listened to with a bright smile when eating pink bass or grouse wings. She has no decent clothes, no jewelry and nothing.
But that's what she likes, and she thinks she was born for it. She has long expected that she can please others, be envied, be tempted and be pursued.
She has a rich girlfriend, who is a female classmate in a church girls' school, but now she doesn't want to see her, because it will always be painful to come back after seeing her. So because of her sadness, regret, disappointment and anxiety, one after another, she looked forward to one evening when her husband came back with a triumphant look, holding a big envelope in his hand.
"Look," he said, "this is something special for you." She quickly opened the envelope and pulled out an invitation with the following words printed on it: "Minister of Education Iorgi Lombono and his wife are honored to invite the Russell couple to the party held in our building on Monday 1 Month18th."
Her husband wanted her to be happy, but she threw the invitation on the table with a sad and angry face and said coldly, "What do you want me to do with this?" "However, my dear friend, I think you may be very satisfied. You never go out, this is an opportunity, a good opportunity! How hard it took me to get it.
Everyone wants an invitation, which is hard to get, but not many copies are sent to colleagues. You can see all the politicians at the party in the future. "
She looked at him angrily and then said impatiently, "What do you want me to wear to go there?" He didn't think of this layer before; He stammered, "However, you are wearing the dress to the theater. I feel fine, I ... "Seeing his wife in tears, he stopped talking in surprise and confusion.
Two big tears slowly flowed from her eyes to the quarrel place; He grinned and said, "What's the matter with you? How are you? " But she suppressed her pain with great patience, wiped her wet face and replied in a calm voice: "Nothing. But I have no clothes, so I can't go to the party.
If you have a colleague's wife who dresses better than me, you can give him this invitation. He was worried and said, "Tell you what, Mathilde.
How much is it, a decent suit, something simple that I can wear again in the future? "She thought for a few seconds to confirm her calculation, and at the same time, she also considered that this figure must be able to meet her requirements without causing surprise and rebuff from the thrifty clerk. Finally, she replied doubtfully, "I don't know the details, but I guess with 400 gold francs, I can always do it." "
His face is a little blue, because he is saving such a sum of money to buy a gun, so that he can go hunting in Nander Plain with some hunting friends on Sunday this summer. However, he replied, "That's it.
I'll give you four hundred gold francs. But you must try to make a beautiful dress. "
As the date of the party drew near, Mrs. Russell looked worried, uneasy and a little uneasy. However, her new dress has been made.
One night, her husband asked her, "How are you? Think about it, you have been very different in these three days. " So she said, "Not a jewel, not a gem, not at all. It really bothers me.
Jane is too poor. I don't want to go to the party now. "
He went on to say.
4. How to write a composition on the topic of necklace Since Mathilde learned from Mrs. Loisel that the necklace she lost at the dance was fake, the whole person squatted on the ground, looked directly at Mrs. Loisel and murmured, "How is this possible? How is it possible ...! "
This is a shocking debt and we must pay it off. To this end, my wife and I live a hard life as poor people. For it, we fired the maid, moved and rented a small attic to live in; For it, I personally do rough work at home and dirty work in the kitchen. In these ten years, I lost my beautiful face, lost my youth, looked like an old woman, and became a short, fat and hardworking girl from a poor family, and no one dared to see me. ...
She-Loisel, now she tells me this is an impostor? It is hard for me to imagine what my life was like in those ten years. If I hadn't lost that necklace in those years-that fake string that is hard to distinguish between true and false, what would I look like today and be warmly held at the party? I can't imagine it anymore! Suddenly, Mathilde's eyes wandered and countless pictures flashed through her mind. She received an invitation and a necklace. At the banquet, every vivid scene of sadness and joy in the ten years from the man's "holding it in his hand" to paying off debts collided in her chaotic mind, bringing her countless pains. She shook her head involuntarily. In an instant, her brain went blank and she walked home aimlessly. ...
When she got home, she was in tears, and even took out the mop mechanically to continue her work, not knowing what she was whispering. Her husband witnessed all this, and without knowing the "source" of the disease, he took Mathilde to the hospital. ...
It was confirmed by the doctor that Mathilde suffered from permanent amnesia due to excessive contact with * * *, and everything before was cut, leaving only a shell with no memory at all ... How strange life is! How fickle! A little thing can save you or destroy you. This is the result of vanity.
5. Write an 800-word composition with the image of Mathilde in the text "Necklace". I am a bird, a yellow bird, a free yellow bird.
I fly carefree in the white clouds all day. When I am hungry, I will run to the Woods to find food. When I am thirsty, I go to the stream to taste the clear spring of nature ... I am a member of nature. On a sunny morning, there won't be many bugs left in my nest. If I don't catch some strong bugs to feed my birds, they will starve to death.
I stood on the bird's nest, spread my wings and waved them slowly, flying higher and higher, and soon I was in the air. I met many early birds in the air. As the saying goes, "The early bird catches the worm.
"We greet each other. I wandered through the white clouds as if I were dancing with them, and a breeze played wonderful music for us. I was so absorbed in dancing with them that I forgot to catch bugs.
Suddenly, the sky was dark and there were dark clouds everywhere. It's going to rain soon, so I immediately flew to my balcony to hide from the rain. One drop, two drops, three drops.
6. Analysis of main characters in Mo Bosang's novels and online structure of articles;
The Necklace is a masterpiece with exquisite conception and distinct theme. Judging from the content of the novel, it is good to use the title "necklace", because it is the clue of the whole work, and the concept of "jewelry" contains too much scope to refer to.
The novel narrates according to the natural process of events, and runs through the whole text with "necklace" as the clue. Mathilde, the hero, "borrowed a necklace" from his friend Mrs Fraser in order to attend a dance. At the dance, the hero made a splash, but he was extremely happy and sad, and "lost his necklace"; In order to compensate other people's necklaces, Mrs. Loizai reluctantly "lost the necklace"; Make up the price of the necklace, but owe a debt that needs hard work and ten years to repay, so she is desperate to "pay off the debt"; Finally, when she breathed a sigh of relief, she got the news that the necklace she borrowed turned out to be fake. With the ups and downs of the novel, Mathilde, who yearned for luxury and comfort, was firmly left behind from the dreamy cloud and devoted herself to it for ten years. Through such a very coincidental and true story, the novel sharply satirizes the vanity and pursuit of pleasure of the petty bourgeoisie, and at the same time expresses deep sympathy for the protagonist who is fooled by life. To study this novel, we should deeply understand the author's creative intention and attach importance to the practical significance of the novel.
The idea of "necklace" is very clever. The necklace was originally a fake, and it was not revealed by Loizai's girlfriend until the end, which surprised not only the heroine, but also the readers. In fact, if you think about it carefully, what seems unexpected is also reasonable and very credible. Because in the description, the author made three necessary foreshadowing and ingenious hints: First, when borrowing the necklace, her girlfriend Mrs. Frais was quite generous and said without hesitation: "Of course!" Secondly, when Mrs. Loizai nervously returned the necklace, Mrs. Frestech actually "didn't open the box to have a look", which shows that the necklace is not valuable jewelry. When Mrs. Loizai went to buy a necklace, the owner of the jewelry store "looked at many account books" and said, "... I only sell this box!" This also shows that the necklace and the box are not the original match. This description will increase the waves of the plot, making it fascinating, unforgettable and thought-provoking.
The novel begins with the clue that the heroine Mrs. Loizai borrowed the necklace, lost it and paid for it. The seven plates separated by branches can be divided into four parts according to the close connection of contents.
1. (From the beginning to "Later I ran away with this treasure") Borrow a necklace.
2. (from "it was the day of the dance" to "he wrote the letter as she said") The necklace was lost.
3. (From "a week later" to "I can help you do it") Pay for the necklace.
4. (From "A Sunday" to the end) Found that the necklace was fake.
Personality analysis:
The characters in the novel Necklace are very typical. Mrs Loizai is the wife of a clerk. She is not rich in life, but in the capitalist world, she has the opportunity to associate with the upper class of the bourgeoisie. Therefore, she is deeply influenced by the bourgeois atmosphere and has infinite envy for the prosperity of the upper bourgeoisie. Because of dissatisfaction with marriage, I feel painful. When I come back from visiting my rich girlfriend, I will even be "sad, regretful, disappointed and miserable" for several days. She is a vulgar petty bourgeois woman, envious of vanity and pursuing luxury. In order to show off in the nightclub and satisfy her vanity, she tried her best to prepare clothes and borrowed a necklace from her girlfriend. To my surprise, I lost my borrowed necklace on my way home. In order to compensate for the necklace, she had to make up her mind to endure mental pain, bear economic pressure, "show a kind of heroism" and live a hard life that the poor know. It took her ten years of hard work, but she got ten years of bitterness with a moment of vanity. This is a strong satire on Madame Loire's vanity. But she still clings to the vanity of that moment. Who knows that it took ten years to pay off the debt, only to find that the original necklace was fake, which was another heavy blow to Mrs. Loizai's vanity.
The psychological description of the novel Necklace reveals the mentality of the characters delicately. Through the direct and indirect description of the protagonist's psychology, the characters are portrayed, the plot is promoted and the theme is revealed. The author is very good at capturing some unusual details to show the inner world of the characters. For example, "she always wants to be liked, admired, attracted and pursued" to express her dream of getting rid of a shabby, bleak and mediocre life, becoming a comfortable and flattering aristocratic lady; Through "she is more intoxicated with her beauty than all the female guests", it shows that she is consciously beautiful and has the confidence to jump out of the mediocre family and climb into the upper class. This vanity is caused by the requirement of treating women as playthings in capitalist society, which indicates the inevitability of Madame Loire's tragedy.
Psychological description of characters
Mathilde's first description of "dream" and the pain caused by the contradiction between "dream" and reality is a direct psychological description; The description of a character's expression, manner, language and actions in a specific environment is an indirect psychological description, such as "hugging his girlfriend warmly" and "intoxicated at the dance", which can reveal the inner world of the character. Both of them highlight Mathilde's yearning for luxury and vanity. And her series of experiences all stem from this vanity character.
Hope to help the landlord! ! !
According to an argumentative essay written by Mo Bosang (The Necklace), there are many explanations for the theme of Mo Bosang's novel The Necklace.
Some people think that "the novel sharply satirizes vanity and the pursuit of pleasure." This view is obviously a reflection of the view of "living a poor life and enjoying happiness" that existed in the era before the reform and opening up, and fewer and fewer people agree with it so far.
As a result, the following viewpoints have appeared recently: (1) I think novels tell readers that people's fate is arranged by unexpected "nature". 2. Mathilde's tragic image points out that in the capitalist society centered on money, the only way out for women is decorations.
(3) The novel is regarded as an ode to sincere love. (4) It is believed that the novel tells readers through the image of Mathilde that in a society where money is paramount, the pursuit of personal dignity comes at a price.
Although these statements try to explain the theme from the novel text and the interpretation of the protagonist image, they fail to grasp the main connotation of the protagonist image, so they are still not in place. So what are the connotations of the image of the heroine Mathilde? First, Amy's novels create the heroine image from the perspective of "the beauty of women's day".
The first six paragraphs prove this point. The beginning is divided into three layers.

Why? "Because in women, beauty, charm and charm are their origins; Natural intelligence, graceful posture and gentle temperament are their only qualifications. " The cloud in On Women shows that the novel shapes the image of the heroine from the perspective of female nature.
So the third paragraph (paragraphs 3 to 5) on the second floor begins: "She feels that she was born to live an elegant and luxurious life". Isn't the so-called "life" just "life" and "sex"? Obviously, "elegant and luxurious life" can only be interpreted as "beautiful life" in the context. The novel then uses three, four and five natural paragraphs to describe her crazy dream of a better life of food, clothing, housing and transportation and express her strong desire for beauty.
Finally, the sixth paragraph is the third floor. Write about her pain after coming back from her rich girlfriend's house to compare the meaning. At the beginning, a key is preset for readers to interpret the heroine, that is, the heroine portrayed in the necklace has the nature that women love beauty.

Even though she was in trouble because of her lust for beauty, she "recalled the dance that year." How beautiful and charming she was that night! " Mathilde loves beauty without regret! Secondly, Mathilde is a simple woman.
She changed from a shop assistant's woman to another shop assistant's wife, living in a shop assistant's family. Therefore, she is narrow-minded, inexperienced, poorly educated and unfamiliar with the complex external world. The love of beauty is innate and does not need training: how to love beauty, such as how to distinguish between true and false jewelry, needs education.
Mathilde obviously lacks this lesson, and the living environment of the small staff is unlikely to give her this lesson. Besides, Mathilde has never experienced complicated ups and downs in the world. Although she has become Madame Loire, she is still as simple as a girl.

Thirdly, after losing the necklace once and for all, Mathilde's living environment has changed greatly, and a new character has appeared-forever.

She relied entirely on her own will, spirit and strength, and relied on her own hands to "save her hard-earned money one by one." She "made up her mind" and "repaid this terrible debt" with unwavering confidence.
She really succeeded.
8. Introduction to the Necklace The Necklace is the most representative short story of Mo Bosang, written in 1884. This well-known work has been praised by people for its profound ideological content, vivid characters and exquisite artistic conception.
The plot of the necklace is simple. The heroine Mathilde is a beautiful woman, and her husband is an ordinary shop assistant. Although her status is low, she is obsessed with the luxurious aristocratic life and is eager to participate in social activities in the upper class. In order to attend a grand party, she made a dress with 400 francs saved by her husband and borrowed a beautiful necklace from a friend. At the minister's banquet, Mathilde stole the show with her outstanding charm, and her vanity was fully satisfied. She was carried away with excitement, but she actually lost the borrowed necklace. In this case, she had to avoid her friends and make up for it slowly. From then on, the couple lived a frugal life of 10 years. In this difficult accumulation process, Mathilde's hands became rough and her face became old. Later, I learned by chance that her lost necklace was just a cheap synthetic diamond necklace. She bought a real diamond necklace. In this way, Mathilde worked hard in vain 10 years.
