{5C22544A-7EE6-4342-B048-85BDC9FD1C3A}
Before
After
life
appearance
psychology
Fine clothes and jewels were the
only things she loved.
She came to know the life of poverty. She came to know the heavy work of the house.
Charming,
admired, the prettiest woman
at the party
Looked old, like all the strong, hard, coarse women of poor households.
She had longed so eagerly to be
wildly attractive and sought after.
She thought of that evening long ago, of the ball at which she had been so beautiful and so much admired.
2. What does Mathilde mean by saying “all on your account” in Paragraph 13?
3. How would Mathilde probably react at the end of the story, when she found out the original necklace was a fake?
IV. Literature appreciation:
1) a twist / surprise ending
A twist ending is a literal technique, introducing an unexpected ending beyond
the readers’ original expectations.
Also known as “O Henry ending”
Shatters the readers’ illusion, adds irony,
raises the story to a higher level, sets readers rethinking.
2) symbolism.
A literary device to use an object, person, situation or word to represent something else, to give an entirely different meaning that is much deeper and more significant.
What is the most important symbol in the story?
The necklace, beautiful but worthless, represents the power of perception and the split between appearances and reality.
V. Further thinking
What kind of person is Mathilde ?
Is her ten years’ misery accidental or unavoidable?
What is the moral of the story?
1) Add an ending to the story.
2) Write a two-line poem with a twist.
Examples:
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.
2) I love your smile, your face, and your eyes.
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
VI. Assignment-- literary creation.
