Answer 2

That is a short story called "The Necklace" and was written by Guy De Maupassant, a French writer. His writing was significant in that he changed how stories were written, and he wrote for the upper classes as the lower classes could not read. The moral he intended was that the middle classes should not try to raise their place in the social hierarchy. The fact that the upper class woman had not seen her "friend" in years and she didn't particularly care about the lost necklace shows that she didn't consider the woman of the same social level. Since the story was written for the upper classes, what happens to the poor woman isn't important. It was meant for the rich.

Answer 3

It's about honesty and responsibility. Madame Loisel, who once looked with disdain upon the very poor, becomes one of them and thus comes to empathize with those she once despised. She learns to take pride in her hard work, rather than superficial things like beauty or social standing.

The twist, of course, is that you should be honest when you do something wrong, so you don't waste your life atoning for a mistake that wasn't a big deal to begin with.

Answer 4

Honesty is the best policy.
