在Alevel英语文学课程中，经常会涉及到很多短篇小说的阅读和理解。而提到短篇小说the necklace，相信大家并不陌生，没错，这篇小说我们在中学语文课本上看到过，文章被翻译成了中文，大家还记得文章内容吗？

今天易伯华国际教育李老师就带大家一起来重温这部经典的、耐人寻味的、令人惊讶的短篇小说，并且从Alevel英语文学的角度进行简短的分析。

小说的作者是居伊·德·莫泊桑，19世纪后半叶法国批判现实主义作家，与俄国契诃夫和美国欧·亨利并称为“世界三大短篇小说巨匠”。代表作品有《项链》《羊脂球》和《我的叔叔于勒》等。

故事矛盾点

矛盾发展

Upon leaving she reaches for the necklace,and finds it missing.After days of searching,she and her husband decide to replace it with a one that looks identical.The replacement cost more money than they make,and it takes them ten years to pay it off.

故事高潮

结局

主题探讨

揭示了当时法国社会底层人民生活和精神的落寞，以及人生观和价值观对于人生经历的影响。社会上道德沦丧，资产阶级骄奢淫逸的糜烂生活和惟利是图的道德观念影响到整个社会，追求享乐追求虚荣，成为一种恶劣的社会风气。

莫泊桑是一个悲观主义者，小说最后主要是戏剧性地揭示出人在命运面前是无能为力的，最终人的一切理想追求和憧憬最终都会化为零。

语言赏析

She was one of those pretty and charming girls born,as if by an error of fate,into a family of clerks.She had no dowry,no expectations,no means of becoming known,understood,loved or wedded by a man of wealth and distinction;and so she let herself be married to a minor official at the Ministry of Education.
