b. Background of the Author

Guy de Maupassant was a popular French author who

wrote under the pen name Henri Ren Albert Guy de
Maupassant (August 5, 1850 - July 6, 1893) He is
regarded as both a forefather and a master of the modern
short story. William Somerset Maugham, O. Henry, Anton
Chekhov, Kate Chopin, and Henry James were among the
writers who were influenced by his prolific and widely
admired body of work.
c. Discussion of Literary Elements

Class, Do you have any clue what is character ,

types of character and characterization?
(students give their thoughts)
That is great

In a story, a character is a person, animal, being,

creature, or thing. Writers employ characters to
carry out actions and deliver dialogue in order to
advance the plot. A story can have only one
protagonist (protagonist) and still be considered
complete.

Major characters and Minor Character

Former is an important characters in the story.
While the latter is a static or unchanging
characters.

Mostly in the story, we have protagonist and

antagonist.
The protagonist, who drives the plot forward and
interacts with the audience
Readers' empathy and interest are piqued. A hero
or heroine is frequently the protagonist.
As the plot revolves around him or her, he or she
becomes an integral part of the story.
While the antagonist is a villain or opponent who
opposes the protagonist or main character. The
A conflict between the protagonist and the
antagonist drives the story's action.
A person, an inanimate object, an animal, or even
nature itself can be the antagonist.

We also have Round and Flat Character

Flat character are character that are not have

complex story line or often described as two-
dimensional characters while Round Characters
are realistically complex, and have depth that is
identifiable , distinctly humanlike and can develop
in the story

Other than those, we also have static and dynamic

characters

A static character is one who doesn't undergo any

significant change in character, personality or
perspective over the course of a story. A dynamic
character, in contrast, undergoes a major transition
in one or more of these ways.

Characterization.

Characterization refers to the description of a

character's physical characteristics (how they
appear), point of view, personality, private
thoughts, and actions. In fiction writing, there are
two types of characterization: indirect and direct.

Direct characterization -
The author makes direct statements about a
character's personality and describes the character
to the reader or viewer. The reader or viewer is
told directly through characterization.

Indirect characterization.-
The process of describing a character through that
character's thoughts, actions, speech, and dialogue
is known as indirect characterization.

Okay, group 2 is ready to present their work.
Very good group 2!
Group 3 will now present their work.
(The group 1 presents their work)
(The group 2 presents their work)
(The group 3 presents their work)
Yes, Sir!
Mathilde, the protagonist, is
attractive and outgoing, and she
desires high-end items to reflect
her refined taste. However,
because she was born into a
clerk's family and married
another clerk, she is unable to
purchase the clothing,
accessories, and household items
that she desires, which makes her
unhappy
Sir, Monsieur Loisel, Mathilde's
husband, is a happy man who
enjoys simple pleasures. He
adores Mathilde and tries to make
her happy by arranging for her to
attend a fancy party.

Very good group 3!
Thank you for your hard work class
c. Comprehension questions
For more understanding of the story, some
volunteers need to answer the ff. questions.
Why did Mathilde buy a necklace worth forty
thousand Francs?
Yes, that is correct!
Why did Mister Monsieur Loisel give four
hundred francs to Mathilde even though he had
plan to use it somewhere
Okay, very good.
What is the conflict of the short story "The Necklace"?
Madame Forestier
Mathilde's friend is Madame
Forestier. Mathilde is envious
because she is wealthy.
Sir, Because she lost the necklace
she borrowed
Because Monsieur Loise loves
her wife he let go his plan for the
sake of his wife
Sir , me , I think there are two
primary conflicts in Guy De
Maupassant's short story "The
Necklace ," which are the
individual versus the self and the
individual versus society.
Mathilde Loisel's internal and
external conflicts stem from her
social status, her feelings of
inadequacy, and society's
 expectations.
Good

What is the theme of "The Necklace,"?

One of the central themes of "The
Great Necklace" is appearance versus
reality

how does the author use symbolism to explain this theme?

.
the necklace symbolizes wealth,
Excellent beauty, and, shame

how does the author use irony to explain this theme?

the necklace was a fake. Mathilde
spends ten years in debt,
effectively ruining her life over
nothing.
Nice

how did Mathilde’s life change after she lost the necklace?
Perfect answer
What is the foreshadowing in "The Necklace"?
Mathilde's life took a change for
the worst after the loss of the
necklace. Namely, because
instead of swallowing her pride,
owning to this fact and confess to
her friend, she decides to take
matters into her own hands. She
goes out of her way to replace the
lost necklace

Mathilde Loisel, the protagonist,

in "The Necklace" by Guy de
Maupassant does not like her
circumstances. Mathilde is a
young, attractive woman who
daydreams about living a stylish
life. She dreams of serving tea on
beautiful china and wearing
fashionable clothing.
Unfortunately, that is not
Mathilde's life.
