Preventive Measures In The Necklace
Preventive Measures
(A Discussion of Lessons for Main Characters in, “The Necklace”) We each have our one weak points. Some people have bigger or smaller weaknesses that might be harder to cope with. In the story, “The Necklace” Loisel feels insecure about her financial status, appearance, and honesty. There are several solutions to fix these problems, but might not necessarily be easy to perform. Madame Loisel should learn to communicate honestly, not obsess over her appearance, as well as be content in the life she is given. To begin with, a huge part of society is the ability to communicate openly. Without this, people begin to make mistakes solely due to lack of communication. The fear to talk to her friend about losing the necklace caused ten years to disappear down the drain. Had she simply apologized and admitted to losing the necklace, Loisel and her husband would be saved loads of trouble. The friend whom the necklace was borrowed from had many others and would likely not miss it. Especially due to it being a nearly worthless fake diamond. Further on, Loisel fails to have faith in her own appearance. She doesn’t truly need all the latest and greatest to be noticed and praised. She has a husband that clearly loves her very much.

can make a person appear either more or less attractive, it ultimately doesn’t change how they look as a person. Loisel should already know that beauty doesn’t come from the dress or necklace, but from how it compliments her own beauty. This would save her from losing the necklace in the first place. Finally, despite having a semi decent life, Loisel fails to see the good around her.
Granted that she doesn’t live in a huge fancy mansion, but she truly has a good life that could be much worse. She has a relatively nice home to live in. This is a huge blessing that many take for granted. Loisel also has an incredibly loving husband willing to give up what means most to him on a single whim from his wife. That alone should be enough to keep her happy. Having a loved one always there for you every single day, through thick or thin is all a human needs. Her husband doesn’t make enormous sums of income, but more than enough to get by and pay for her dress. Loisel should simply be thankful for the life she
has. Clearly, had Loisel been able to step up and communicate honestly, have confidence in her appearance, and be thankful for everything she has, she would never have lost the necklace. Had she not lost the necklace, or not been afraid to fess up to it, Loisel would save ten years of labor. The amount of loans the assumed they needed as well as the work required to pay them off were absolutely pointless. Surely the knowledge of the necklace being fake must haunt her mind as an enormous regret due to sheer lack of communication.
