The Necklace

Madame Loisel is spoiled, petulant, and displays an immense sense of entitlement. Her greatest desire is position, a large home, and a busy social calendar.... not to mention the clothing and jewels to go with it.

She suffered endlessly, feeling she was entitled to all the delicacies and luxuries of life. She suffered because of the poorness of her house as she looked at the dirty walls, the worn-out chairs and the ugly curtains. All these things that another woman of her class would not even have noticed, tormented her and made her resentful.
