The Necklace (Reflection)

In the story “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant, the protagonist which

is Mathilde had to lie about her life and her actions. She was pretending to

be someone else and the woman never told the owner of the necklace that

she lost it and that’s why she has to live unpleasantly with all the conse-

quences she created. People should tell the truth even if it’s an atrocious

news. Humans should learn that being loyal is a way to be in peace with

yourself and with everyone else. In my opinion, it makes other to see you

as someone trustful. The dishonesty might turn into something unimportant

in just a few hours, but the changes are the ones who are going to disturb

your decision about lying. Being strong and saying what is right will always

make the problem to have an appropriate perspective. I have meet people

that lie mostly when they are afraid or not confident, therefore everything

becomes worst than what they planned. I learned that the deceit will never

be maintained hidden because it will appear in a point of life even if you

don’t want to. A diminutive calumny can make the distances between the

sky and the ground to decrease. The probability of being forgiven while

saying the truth, will always maintain in front of you.
