  6. 6. They toil for ten years to repay the debt for a replacement necklace.
  7. 7. Matilda Loisel's downfall springs directly from her vanity and discontent. Though she lives comfortably enough, she is never satisfied, constantly longing for the wealth, fine clothes and jewels she does not have. When her husband secures an invitation to a grand party, her craving to appear rich leads her to borrow a glittering diamond necklace from her friend Madame Forestier. She enjoys a glorious evening, but loses the necklace on the way home. Here her pride proves fatal: too ashamed to admit the loss, she and her husband secretly replace it with an extremely expensive one, plunging into crippling debt. To repay it, the couple endure ten years of grinding poverty and hard labour, and Matilda loses the very beauty she had prized. Her vanity, and her refusal to be honest, thus cost her the best years of her life — a heavy price for a moment of pride.
