The Necklace’ is one of the well-known stories of Guy De Maupassant. He wrote more than 300 short stories, 6 novels, travel books and even poetry. He describes the futility of wars and violence that take thousands of innocent lives. Many of his stories were written during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s. He depicts human lives often in pessimistic terms. Maupassant was a representative of the naturalist school of writers. He was born on 5 August 1850 at the Chateau de Miromesnil, in France. He is considered to be one of the best short story writers of the world. Guy De Maupassant was a great writer of France. And the irony was that the cause of all these sufferings was a false necklace. This small lapse or mistake of Mrs Loisel makes her whole life miserable and dark. Things could have been settled right if she had confessed the loss of the necklace to the owner, Madame Forestier. The loss of a false necklace by Mrs Loisel was not a big loss. False pride is the cause of our sufferings. The main message of the story is that we should be what we are.
