The Necklace
What is ironic about the Loisels’ poverty
1 The Loisels are impoverished by someone they considered a friend
2 It is Madame Loisel who lost the necklace and her husband who is paying for all of it
3 The harder they work the more they have to pay off
4 Madame Loisel felt like her old life was not good enough for her and now she lost it all.
