While in the story of “Voice Tape” it happened in the house of the taxi driver and he is also the one narrating the whole story.
There are four main characters in the story of “The Necklace”. Mrs.Mathilde Loisel, the wife, she is ambitious and self-centered. Mr.Loisel, the husband, he was hardworking, faithful, kind and understanding. Mr.Rampouneau, Minister of Education, the person who invited Mr. and Mrs.Loisel in the party and last Mrs.Forester, friend of Mathilde, lend her the diamond necklace.
