I think the story has a strong conflict since Mathilde’s life changed completely from middle class to poverty when she lost the diamond necklace. The ending was unexpected because she worked so hard to pay the debts. Mathilde’s character is greedy and arrogant. The irony ending showed all her hard works were not necessary if she didn’t have the massive amount of pride. If she is happy with what she had, she would have a normal and happy life. On the other hand, I as a female understand why she is greedy. Everyone wanted to have better things and lives, she is the same. Even though she wanted jewels and dresses, she is an honest woman and paid for what she lost without any other thoughts. Overall, I think she is not as disgusting as others think.
