Recently, I read a book called Collection of Mo Bosang's Short Stories. The stories in it are fresh in my memory, among which I like the story called necklace best.
Mathilde, the protagonist of the necklace, is a beautiful young woman. But because of my humble background, I married an ordinary person and lived a plain life. But Mathilde is vain and often fantasizes that she is a lady of a certain family. When attending a dance, he borrowed a necklace from his girlfriend and made a splash at the dance. However, after the dance, she and her husband found the necklace missing. In order to return the necklace to their girlfriend, they searched several jewelry stores and finally found an identical necklace, but the price quoted by the merchant was unacceptable to their families. Their lives have changed since then: from a small family to a poor family, Mathilde has also become a housewife. After paying off the debt, she met her girlfriend and explained everything to her. When my girlfriend learned that it was a real diamond necklace, she was very excited and told Mathilde that she had lent Mathilde a fake necklace, which was only worth 500 francs.
This story tells us that life always shapes people's hearts in a calm way, and once arrogance and vanity have become more simple and pragmatic after the baptism of life. Perhaps, ten years' efforts have washed away a suit of lead China, but they have also brought new enlightenment and thinking to people.
The same is true in reality: a woman married a rich stock trader and lived a rich life. However, a year later, the rich man lost money in stock trading and owed a lot of debts. In order to pay off her debts, the woman who never washes clothes or cooks took off her shelf and became a housewife. In the end, I not only paid off all my debts, but also made a small profit. Later, it developed slowly and returned to the rich girl of the past.
After reading this book, I understand a lot of truth. This book also made me see the ugliness and danger of society. This is a good book worth reading.
In this winter vacation, I read the short story Necklace by the famous French writer Mo Bosang.
The book Necklace mainly tells about a woman named Mathilde, who has a strong vanity. One day, Mathilde's husband brought back an invitation and invited Mathilde to the dance. She could have worn her ordinary clothes, but she insisted on wearing better clothes. After finishing the clothes, she went to a friend's house to choose jewelry, and finally chose a necklace with diamonds. At the dance, many people said she was beautiful. But when she came back, she found that the necklace was gone. She couldn't find it anywhere. A friend asked her to return the necklace, but she was afraid to tell her friend that it was lost, so she said it was broken and was being repaired. Later, Mathilde lent money to a friend to buy the same necklace. Then she worked hard to earn money and it took her ten years to pay off all her debts. It was not until she saw her friend again that she knew that the original necklace was fake and the compensation she paid was true.
After reading this book, I deeply feel that Mathilde has a strong vanity. She can't face the reality, always thinking about things that are better than herself and out of reach. If she had worn her own clothes instead of such gorgeous clothes and a necklace, she wouldn't have lost it. Many such mistakes begin with vanity, so people must not have vanity.
In addition, I also know that I must admit that I did something wrong, and I can't lose something without telling others, just like Mathilde. If she speaks out boldly after losing the necklace, she will know that it is fake, and she will not borrow so much money to buy a real necklace and pay off her debts for ten years. So you must tell others something in the future, and don't let yourself suffer like Mathilde.
After listening to my introduction, do you also like the book Necklace? Take a quick look if you like it! There is still a lot of knowledge waiting for you to discover!
The Necklace by the famous French writer Mo Bosang is a masterpiece among the world's short stories. After reading it, I feel that its content is tortuous and exciting, and it contains profound life truths.
The article "The Necklace" describes that the heroine, Mrs. Vasseur, is very vain. In order to attract attention at the dance, she lost a pearl necklace borrowed from a friend. From then on, the family had to scrimp and save, work hard, and it took ten years to finally collect the money for the necklace. They bought the same necklace and returned it to their friend, who told her that the necklace lent to her was a handicraft, only worth several hundred francs. Mrs. Wassel regretted it and hated herself for being too vain.
After reading this article, I feel that many people in life try to save face and satisfy vanity, but the result is a fiasco. For example, now that the quality of life has improved, some women feel that they are not beautiful enough, so they dye their hair and make up, and some even spend tens of thousands of yuan on plastic surgery. I have seen such a news on TV: a young college student ignored his parents' advice and had cosmetic surgery, which failed. Not only has she not become beautiful, but her original appearance has also been ruined. From this, it is not difficult for us to understand that being a man should not lose face and be vain.
The Necklace is not only an excellent short story with wonderful content, but also an excellent literary work with profound truth. If you are interested in this novel, you might as well read it.
Thinking about Necklace 4 Under the influence of the bourgeois social background at that time, most people had great vanity. The heroine Mathilde is a vivid example. At that time, she was not satisfied with a well-off family. Although there are no delicious food and gorgeous houses, she has a husband and a little servant who love her.
However, Mathilde pursued the so-called wealth and coveted a luxurious life, which caused a great economic burden to the family for his own face and vanity. The husband brought his wife an invitation to the upper-class ball. Although the family was short of money, the husband bought his wife a beautiful coat with the money he was going to buy a shotgun. The wife also borrowed a diamond necklace from a friend to show the family's grandeur.
In the dance that night, the protagonist Mathilde really became the most dazzling star, and all the male guests looked at her. She thinks it's a success. However, something unexpected happened after returning to China. When she got home, she found that the necklace was gone, and the couple were shocked. They had to pay compensation when they couldn't find it anywhere. The terms of compensation are very expensive. My wife saved money for ten years, worked everywhere, and finally raised money.
The climax of the story is at the end. One day ten years later, Mathilde met that friend. During the conversation, she learned that the necklace she lent her was actually fake. What an absurd fact that Mathilde spent all his youth on a fake necklace.
After reading the first half of the story, I think Mathilde is a strong woman with great vanity and covetousness for wealth. But I read on and found that she didn't run away from home because she lost her necklace. She worked hard for ten years to pay off the debt. Although she loves face very much and has a strong vanity, I think from the way she handled it afterwards, she is really a good person and has not been blinded by vanity.
Random Thoughts on Necklace 5 I read several works of Mo Bosang one after another and was deeply moved by this article.
This article mainly tells that Mathilde is beautiful, but she was born in a small clerk's house and married a small clerk in the Ministry of Education. She has no money to dress up and can only live a simple life. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She felt that she was born to live a luxurious life, so vanity made her suffer. One day, her husband brought an invitation, but it didn't bring her joy, because she felt that she didn't have gorgeous clothes and jewels ... Her husband gave her 400 francs to buy a gun and beautiful clothes, but she was still unhappy because she had no jewels to wear ... and borrowed a diamond necklace from a friend.
She showed her charm at the party, but on her way home, she found that the diamond necklace she borrowed was lost. In order to buy back the same necklace, Mathilde spent ten years of youth and effort. ......
After reading the whole story, I was deeply touched that life is really unpredictable and dramatic, and fate plays tricks on people. A necklace, from vanity to the principle of being a man, strives to maintain its dignity, making people feel that Mathilde is both pitiful and lovely. Sadly, her excessive vanity made her taste the sufferings of the world. What is lovely is that she sticks to the basic principles of being a man, dares to bear the quality, and has finished a life full of thorns.
Life should be real, and more importantly, it should be down-to-earth step by step.
After watching The Necklace in the summer vacation, my mother recommended a novel The Necklace by Mo Bosang to me. At first, I was definitely not interested. Under the pressure of my mother, I finished reading the necklace with an attitude of killing time. I didn't expect the more interesting I read, the more I liked you, and I finished the book easily in one breath.
The Necklace is about Mathilde, the wife of laurel, an employee of the Ministry of Education. In order to attend the party hosted by the Minister of Education, she bought clothes with 400 francs that her husband was going to buy a shotgun and borrowed a necklace from her girlfriend. At the party, her appearance was outstanding, and all the male guests looked at her with rapt attention. She thinks this is a kind of "success" and is very satisfied. When she got home, the couple were shocked to find that the necklace was gone. If not, they must pay compensation. Finally, they bought an identical diamond necklace worth 36,000 francs in a jewelry store and gave it to their girlfriend. It took the couple ten years to pay off the debt they owed for the necklace. At the end of the story, one day ten years later, Mathilde met his girlfriend. During the conversation, she learned that the necklace that her girlfriend lent her was actually fake.
After reading the whole story, my first feeling was incredible. Fate is really playing tricks on people, and life is really unpredictable! A necklace made her prosperous and ruined her life. Did Mathilde's vanity and pursuit of pleasure ruin her ten years of youth? But for Mathilde, who is dissatisfied with her life, her hypocritical side has not got a superior life, she just thought about it. She abides by the basic principles of being a man and maintains her dignity. There is a lot of helplessness in life, especially a little woman like her who has no right or money. When I read the part about the lost necklace, I couldn't help thinking: Why did she choose this way of repayment? In fact, she can run away or break the contract, run away, let it go, or tell her friends the truth. But she didn't do it, which shows that she is an honest person.
Mathilde quietly and resolutely chose a difficult road to repay his girlfriend's debt. She has changed. The tempering of poor life not only changed her appearance, but also changed her spirit. Hard work and life shattered her unrealistic fantasies.
After reading this novel, I feel that life is not a fantasy, but more can be bought by step-by-step efforts.
After reading the necklace, 7 "How strange and changeable life is. The smallest thing can destroy you and make you complete! "
At the beginning of the novel, I saw a beautiful and melancholy woman who was obsessed with dreams all day. She is beautiful, rich and charming. It is precisely because "she is also a beautiful and moving girl" that her heart is full of some grievances and grievances. He complained about why he didn't have a prominent background and why he couldn't have a Mr Right. Why is there no generous dowry as a living guarantee? Yes, she has nothing. He is not the daughter of an old man. In order to get rid of her misfortune and pain, she found an outlet, that is "dream". Her dream was not a fantasy, but the luxurious real life in France at that time. Because in the social reality of France at that time, Mathilde did not want to face reality and life directly, but pinned his ideals on his dreams. There is no doubt that at this time, our poor Mathilde has been completely captured by vanity.
One night, the couple received an invitation from the Minister of Education to attend a party. Mathilde has clothes, but no decent jewelry. She would rather give up this opportunity to participate. The couple discussed it and finally decided to borrow a diamond necklace from Mrs. Zu Foretstier. Mathilde appeared at the party with this necklace. She succeeded with her beautiful and charming appearance, smiling face and exquisite clothes. She succeeded in attracting the attention of all men. All the men surrounded her, asked her name, and invited her to dance * * * ... She had a one-night stand and got ten years of bitterness-the necklace was lost. However, it was at this time that she "suddenly showed heroism and made up her mind to repay this terrible debt." She dismissed the maid, moved to a new place and rented a small attic. "This is her turning point. It is up to her to decide whether this is good or bad. Mathilde really lives a poor life now and really understands the hardships of the poor. She has to do all the clumsy work at home and do annoying housework in the kitchen. Every morning, she moves the garbage from upstairs to downstairs. Dressed like a poor woman, she went to fruit shops, grocery stores and butcher shops with her arms across the basket, arguing for prices and being laughed at. Why should a penny save all this? To pay off this terrible debt, of course. If she doesn't need to pay off this debt, she won't work or go shopping. She must have had a sweet dream, wearing gorgeous clothes to the dance and making a splash.
10 years later, when the debt was paid off, she smiled with a naive smug look. This smile is full of the ease of paying off debts and the pride of living alone in the morning. Will she laugh if the necklace is not lost? No, she must still be pursuing enjoyment, dreaming of a luxurious life, always insatiable, and suffering for not being able to live an elegant and gorgeous life. "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise." Setbacks and failures are sometimes not bad things, but good things. No one can forcibly suppress a person's instinctive pursuit of beauty, wealth and comfortable life, and so can Mathilde. It was the loss of the necklace that forced her to live and face the reality bravely. Finally, when she saw her friend who was still young and beautiful again and learned the fact of the fake necklace, her face showed a bright and innocent smile. This smile is a sign of her confidence and pride.
Don't forget, facing setbacks bravely is also a choice, which will bring you a different ending.
