At the beginning of the story, as M.Lantin falls in love with the woman, the author seems to describe the woman thoroughly as being one of rare find. The author states that, “Everyone sang her praises”(Maupassant 69). The story makes a big deal that “the young girl seemed to be the very ideal of that pure good woman to whom every young man dreams of entrusting his future” (Maupassant 69). She was clearly a woman with unique beauty, even described as modest with shy charm. Many, especially M. Lantin, knew her as this type of woman; so they thought. The author did a good job in building up the woman as very desirable, loving, and seemingly perfect. In addition to her high status of virtue, Maupassant describes her as having a strong interest and passion for the theater, as well as an obvious obsession for fine jewelry. Through out much of the story, her husband is confident that the jewels are not real. Conveniently with-in their marriage, she was also extremely skillful in managing their budget closely, which likely built up a perceived trust and security in the relationship between Monsieur and Madame Lantin.…
