Mme. Loisel's greatest concern is her own social class, especially the way she is perceived in society in virtue of her appearance and attire. She dreams of a life of extravagant luxury that will make her happy. It is her focus on social class that causes her to borrow a necklace to wear to a party to which she and her husband have been invited; in an ironic twist, this very necklace results in them becoming even lower in social class when they lose it and must work to pay for a replacement.
