the story's fatal flaw is that it dashes our hopes. the moral we learn from it is that when mathilde tried to do the right thing and replace her friend's necklace, rather than make her and her husband look bad, and not have any necklace to return at all, she is rewarded with 20 years of hard labour in poverty, and the loss of her previous beauty.

If the family would have been honest about losing the necklace, they would have been spared 20 years of pain and suffering.

She assumed her rich friend would only possess expensive jewelry-giving her an aura of quality simply by the perceived value of her possessions, defining her by her possessions and not her morals,or kindness, or personal traits. Rather shallow, I think.
