Directions: From The Necklace, what might have been the quality of Mme. Loisel’s life if she had not lost the necklace? Is her life better or worse now?

It is lucky for Mme. Loisel to lose the necklace. This experience gave her a lot of things to do and to think, as well as precious memories to recall. And her life is better that she lost the necklace on the ball.

Mme. Loisel’s life would be boring if she had not lost the necklace. After the ball, she was still a wife of a clerk, and she did not have other goals to work for. She did not have money and she did not have any chance to show off her beauty. The only thing that she had was time – a lot of time that enabled her to do more day dreaming and complain about the current situation of her life. The experience at the ball could only make her more isolated from the friends that she had in the same social class, because she would look down on them and laugh at their tastes. And I think that is a miserable life. She had dreams, but she did not have any opportunity to work for it.

Losing the necklace brought dramatic change to her life. She worked hard and she earned a large sum of money. And since she got back the necklace from her friend after finding out the truth, she became wealthy and she was capable of leading a life that she wanted. And I believe that the experience of a hard life enabled her to design a better lifestyle for herself and her family. The other reason that her life would be better after losing the necklace is that the experience prevented her from losing more important things in her life. If she did not lose the necklace, she might borrow a more expensive one the next time that she attended a party or a ball. And that might bring a bigger trouble if she lost it. And it is possible that she lost the most precious thing in her life – her husband. He was a good man and he loved his wife. But Mme. Loisel’s lust for luxuries might drive him away from her.

In conclusion, losing the necklace is good for Mme. Loisel. If she did not lose the necklace, she would continue her life without knowing where she was going. If she did not experience the panic of losing an expensive object, she would not know how to treasure her beloved husband and the happy moments that took place around her. If she did not work hard to pay the debt, she would not understand that there are so many incredible things other than luxury parties in life to pursuit. And now, she is happier than ever.
