Q2- Why Mme Loisel remained always unhappy?

Ans- Loisel wanted to live a luxurious life. But she was married to a clerk, whose income was very small. The poverty of her house , the common way of her living and lack of all luxuries troubled her. That is why, she remained always unhappy.

Q3- What kind of a person was Mme Loisel's husband?

Ans- Her husband was a clerk , whose income was very small. But he always tried to keep her happy. He suffered a lot because of her wife. But he never got angry with her. He silently accepted his fate . It shows that he was a very nice person and a loving husband.

Q4- Why did her husband come in a very happy mood one day?

Ans- Her husband got a special invitation from a Minister for a dinner party. No one was invited to this party except them. So he was in a very happy mood.

Q5- What fresh problems disturbed Mme Loisel after receiving the invitation?

Ans- Mme Loisel managed to get a new dress for the party / ball, but she had not a fine jewel to wear. This was the new problem which disturbed Loisel.

Q6- What did M. and Mme Loisel do when they find the necklace missing?

Ans- They got very shocked. They looked in the folds of the dress, cloak and in the pockets. Her husband went out to find it. He also went to the cab offices and the police. They also put an advertisement in the newspapers. But all in vain. The necklace could not be found anywhere.

Q7- How did Loisel replace the necklace?

Ans- Loisel had to pay 36000 francs for the new necklace. He had with him only 18000 francs. So, he had to borrow the rest from moneylenders at a very high rate of interest.

Q8- What was the cause of Matilda's ruin? How could she have avoided it?

Ans- Matilda was a very pretty lady. She had high ambitions to have things of luxuries. But she belonged to a poor family. That was the real cause of her ruin. She should have accepted his life. Also she should have known that one should cut one's coat according to one's cloth. Thus she could have avoided her ruin.

Q9- Hoe did Matilda get the jewels to wear at the ball?

Ans- Matilda had a rich friend named Mme Jeanne Forestier. She went to her at her husband's suggestion. She asked politely to lend a necklace to wear at the ball. Her friend at once agreed to it. Matilda chose a lovely diamond necklace to wear at the ball.

Q10- What is the twist at the end of the story, "The Necklace"?

Ans- The Loisels had to spend 36000 francs to replace the lost necklace. They suffered for many years to payback their debts. But at the end of the story, we come to know that the lost necklace was a false one. It was not worth more than 500 francs.

Q11- How was Mme Loisel a "mistake of destiny''?

Ans- Mme Loisel was a very pretty woman. But by an irony of the fate, she was born in a poor family. She had to marry a petty clerk, who had a very small earning. Thus we can say that Mme Loisel was a "mistake of destiny''.
