They needed 36000 francs to buy the diamond necklace Loisel had 18000 francs which his father had left him. He had to borrow the rest of the money at a very high-interest rate from the moneylenders. He bought a new necklace and handed it over to Mme Forestier.
Question - 7
The course of the Loisel's life changed due to the necklace. Comment.
Answer:
Mme Loisel thought that the necklace was of real diamonds and expensive. They borrowed money from lenders for a high rate of interest to pay back the debt they had forgotten the little comfort of life. They rented away the maid, changed their lodging, and rented some rooms in the attic. Matilda had no assistance in her domestic work and went to the groceries herself to save a little money. M Loisel worked day and night at several odd jobs to earn little money. The work pressure therefore made them older by 10 years. M Loisel and Mme Loisel couldn't have ruined their life if they knew that the necklace was neither made up of real diamonds nor expensive. For a long period of time, they were under constant pressure to repay heavy sums of money.
