About This Novel
Mathilde, the wife of an ordinary civil servant, borrowed a diamond necklace from a friend to attend a party, but accidentally lost it on the way home. She had to borrow money to buy a new necklace and return it to her friend. In order to repay the debt, she scrimped on food and clothing and worked part-time for others, working hard for ten years. Finally, I learned that the necklace I borrowed was originally a fake diamond necklace. This article takes the necklace itself as a clue and leads readers into the life and inner world of the heroine Mathilde through the plot of borrowing, losing, and returning the necklace, and deeply appreciates the tragic reality that small people in the capitalist society of the 19th century cannot decide their own destiny.
