This is a sentence written by Mo Bosang at the beginning of The Necklace, which is used to describe the heroine Mathilde. In Mo Bosang's works, this character is vivid, true and natural, which makes people feel sad and sympathetic.

Mo Bosang was a French critical realist writer in the second half of the19th century, and he was also called "the three great masters of short stories in the world" with Chekhov and O. Henry, which shows that his attainments in short stories are extremely high. Mo Bosang is known as the "King of the World's Short Stories". His masterpieces include Jewels, boule de suif and My Uncle Yule.

The Necklace mainly tells the story that Mathilde, the beautiful wife of a shop assistant, borrowed a diamond necklace from A Jin Harbor from a friend to show off her beauty in order to attend an upper-class dinner. On the night of the party, she got what she wanted. But when she got home, she found that the necklace was lost, so she had to borrow money to buy a new necklace and return it to her friends. In order to pay her debts, she scrimped and saved, and went through 10 years to pay her debts. Finally, I found that I borrowed a fake diamond necklace.

After reading Mo Bosang's Necklace, most people will think that Mathilde 10' s debt repayment is like "drawing water with a sieve", and nothing has been achieved except wasting time and youth. However, I don't think so. Although Mo Bosang aggravated the satire on Mathilde, it also injected some human brilliance into this role, which made me feel that Mathilde 10' s efforts were not in vain and I was lucky.

Mathilde is a beautiful and moving woman, because she was born in a small staff family and could not get in touch with people with money and status. Finally, she married Russell, a small staff member of the Ministry of Education.

This little woman always hides a restless heart. She feels that she was born for all exquisite and luxurious things. Therefore, it is very painful to look at the shabby houses, rough walls, old furniture and vulgar clothes at home all day.

She always fantasizes about using all kinds of exquisite utensils at all kinds of exquisite banquets, as if only in this way can she be worthy of her youth and beauty.

Finally, an invitation brought back by her husband brought her a glimmer of hope, because it came from the upper class she yearned for. However, looking at her simple clothes, Mathilde only felt angry because she had no clothes to start such a party. Finally, her husband spent 400 francs to make her a new dress.

When the new dress was finished, Mathilde looked at her empty neck and always felt that a piece of jewelry was missing. Because of family reasons, her husband can't buy her another matching piece of jewelry. Faced with his wife's insistence, he finally had a brainwave and put forward Mathilde's suggestion to borrow a string of jewelry from a friend.

Mathilde found his friend Mrs Fraser and borrowed A Jin's diamond necklace. On the night of the party, Mathilde became the focus of the whole party. This was her dream, and now it has finally come true.

However, as Zweig said, all the gifts given by fate have long been secretly priced.

On the night of the party, Mathilde and her husband came home and found the necklace lost. After several turns, they couldn't find the necklace. Husband Russell and Mathilde decided to spend money on a new necklace. They put all their eggs in one basket and borrowed a lot of money. Finally, they bought the same necklace worth 36,000 francs and gave it back to Mrs. Fleischer.

From then on, the couple embarked on a difficult road to pay off their debts, and it took 10 years to pay off their debts.

But the story doesn't simply end. /kloc-one day after 0/0 years, Mathilde, who is no longer young, met Mrs. Fleischer and told her all about it. But Mrs Fraser's words hit Mathilde's heart like a bolt from the blue. The original necklace 10 years ago is fake.

Knowing this answer, Mathilde's tragic meaning is even stronger. After 10 years of hard work, everything is like an own goal. But if Mathilde is not vain and enjoys luxury, she doesn't want to enter a world that doesn't belong to her. How can her life sink into this tragedy because of a necklace?

Russell became Mathilde's husband, which was the luckiest thing in her life.

Before the necklace was lost, Russell tried his best to meet all the needs of his wife Mathilde, hired servants to take care of her, and knowing that she was vain and flashy, he went to get an invitation to the party to please her. Even in order to satisfy what she called "the most humiliating thing in the world is to show my poverty among many rich women", he spent the money he planned to buy a gun on making her a skirt robe.

It can be said that this man loves Mathilde very much, and his love also extends to the loss of the necklace.

After the necklace was lost, he tried his best to find it and tried his best. Finally, he couldn't find it. He decided to make up for the necklace with Mathilde.

To this end, he used his father's 18000 francs to borrow money everywhere and deal with usury.

However, in spite of this, he paid 36,000 francs and bought this necklace. Mr. Russell, from beginning to end, he was like a man. He didn't say a word about Mathilde, and he didn't abandon her to enjoy himself alone. No matter how difficult it was, he stayed with her from beginning to end.

For a woman, how lucky it is to have such a husband.

Mathilde's life seems really unfortunate on the surface, but under the fine products, she is so lucky. I made a mistake when I was young, and my husband was willing to pay the bill with her. Perhaps the road to paying off debts in those ten years was hard, but Mathilde's heart was sweet, with her husband's love and company. What she lost was vanity and vanity, but what she gained was sincerity and waiting.

Sometimes watching Mathilde's life experience of repaying the necklace will make people unconsciously think of Santiago in The Old Man and the Sea, where he caught a marlin and finally dragged it back with only a bare skeleton.

Mathilde's luck also lies in the hardships along the way, which made her recognize herself.

Once upon a time, she was taken care of by servants and loved by her husband, but she was still not satisfied with the status quo. I feel that my family is poor, that everything in my family is not worthy of me, and I always live in those unrealistic fantasies.

But after carrying the debt brought by the necklace, Mathilde seemed to grow up overnight. In addition to her firm determination to pay her debts, she also dismissed the maid, moved to the attic, did all kinds of housework by herself, dressed like a cloth, was scolded for bargaining for food, and began to be a grounded housewife.

10 years, her face disappeared, but she suddenly woke up. 10 years ago, she had a beautiful face and a strong vanity. She won't go to the party without good clothes and jewelry. She lost her friend's necklace and was afraid to tell her what happened to her face.

However, after 10 years, she is dressed simply and looks old. In the face of Mrs Fleischer, who is still young and beautiful, she confidently told her hard journey. In order to repay the suffering of the necklace, she didn't feel inferior at all, nor did she feel uneasy. This confidence in facing life is the most precious wealth that Mathilde has gained in the past 10 years.

The story triggered by a necklace seems to be a tragedy on the surface, like a futile effort. However, looking at Mathilde who is confident after 10 years, how do we know that this is not another kind of luck?

Mathilde was unhappy when she was young, because she always lived in an empty fantasy. She is full of all kinds of desires and wants to touch unrealistic exquisiteness and beauty. But under the baptism of life and the polishing of reality, old Mathilde gradually accepted this increasingly imperfect self, and she became confident and full, and no longer lived in nothingness. This reality gives an increase of far more than 36,000 francs.

When I read Mo Bosang's necklace in middle school, I was always full of contempt for Mathilde's vanity. However, after 10 years of growth, when I read this novel again, I felt a little more understanding and sympathy.

Indeed, Mathilde was vain when she was young, and we can even say that her tragedy was of her own making. But sometimes you will find that Mathilde's growth may be due to the lack of that necklace.

If it weren't for the loss of the necklace, she might not have realized how much her husband cares about himself all day. I didn't know that this man could make such a big sacrifice to repay her vanity, so as to learn to live with him in a down-to-earth way.

If it weren't for the loss of the necklace and the debt, Mathilde would probably lose herself after the party and fall into vanity and luxury. Maybe she will have an inflated desire to do something more out of line.

In my opinion, it is really unfortunate that Mathilde lost her necklace and spent 10 years to return a fake necklace. But looking at the problem from another angle, after the necklace was lost, we saw Mathilde's husband's constant companionship and her own life change from fantasy to reality. From this point of view, how can we simply think that Mathilde's loss of the necklace is absolutely unfortunate?

At an early age, the history teacher told us that everything has two sides and we should learn to look at things in two ways. In Mathilde, we see not only vanity, but also responsibility and responsibility; In addition to inferiority, there is growth and transformation.

As the saying goes, "Happiness depends on misfortune, and misfortune lurks in misfortune", and the experience of life has never been absolutely lucky or unfortunate. What we can do is to learn to cherish the luck of those who have lived through life under the baptism of time.
