The Necklace class 10 summary
GIST: The lesson of the story is 'Honesty is the best policy'. If Matilda honestly told her friend the truth about the necklace, she would have learned that the necklace wasn't made of real diamonds. That would have saved her from living a miserable life for ten years. It is a fact that many a time people either hide the truth to avoid punishment. However, it should always be kept in mind that the ones close to us will never hold us responsible for little follies, if we tell the truth and accept our mistakes.
The Necklace Summary class 10 (theme)
It is the story of a beautiful young woman born to a non-wealthy family; she marries but dreams of an affluent life. Unfortunately, these dreams of a different life eventually lead to her downfall. She is married to a clerk who works in the Ministry of Education.
Matilda lives in an illusory world where her actual life does not match the ideal life she has in her head-she believes that her beauty and charm make her worthy of greater things. The party is a triumph because for the first time, her appearance matches the reality of her life. Her life, in the few short hours of the party, is as she feels it should be. However, beneath this rightness and seeming match of appearances and reality is the truth that her appearance took a great deal of scheming and work.
When they return home after the party gets over. She reveals her necklace is missing. Matilda does heavy housework and losses her beauty and youthfulness to pay back the debt taken to return the necklace. Everything she has is a warm memory of being admired in that one ball.

Character sketch of Matilda
MATILDA
Matilda is the young and beautiful wife of Mr. Loisel, a clerk in the board of Education. She is proud of her elegant beauty. She is unhappy with her poor lot. She thinks she is a victim of social injustice and irony of fate. She feels she has been deprived of the comforts and luxuries which she might have enjoyed by marrying a rich man. But all this does not mean that she does not love her husband. Of course, she loves Mr Loisel.
Matilda is a simple, childlike immature girl until she finds herself face to face with the bitter consequences of her folly. The loss of the necklace proves a turning point in the development of her character. It makes her a careful and responsible woman.
Matilda thus plays two different roles in the story. Before the loss of the necklace, she is a thoughtless, ungrateful, proud beauty, unhappy with the poverty of her husband. After the loss she becomes a mature, humble and grateful wife who can gladly sacrifice every pleasure to get her husband out of his financial misery. This change in her character makes her a lovable character in spite of all her faults and follies.
