Answer 1

The event that develops Mathilde Loisel's point of view is the dinner party to which she and her husband are invited, which shows us how shallow she is.

What is the protagonist's perspective?

In the short story "The Necklace," by Guy de Maupassant, the protagonist is Mathilde Loisel, a woman whose situation in life makes her sad and angry. To better understand her perspective, let's answer each of the questions.

First, let's find quotations that show how she acts:

• She stared at him angrily, and said, impatiently...

• Two large tears ran slowly from the corners of her eyes towards the corners of her mouth.

Now, let's find quotations about how what Mme. Loisel says:

• "And what do you expect me to wear if I go?"

• "... Only I have no dress and so I can't go to this party. Give your invitation to a friend whose wife has better clothes than I do."

From the quotations above, we can conclude that Mathilde Loisel's perspective is quite materialistic. She is a shallow woman who wants to be wealthy. Instead of being grateful for the things she does have, she gets angry and acts childishly for not having fine dresses and jewelry.
