What does this ironic twist at the end tell us about the author's attitude toward status? Use evidence from the story to support your answer.

I have looked this question up. It is about the short story "The Diamond Necklace," by Guy de Maupassant.

Answer and Explanation:

The main character, Madame Loisel, is a woman who dreams of being rich. She resents her social status, especially the lack of money to buy the fancy things she has a taste for. One day, as she and her husband are invited to a ball, Madame Loisel borrows a necklace from a friend whose social status is superior to her own. She loses the necklace and, to replace it, spends ten years of her life working herself old and "ugly" (to her standards).

At the end, the ironic twist lies in the fact the the necklace she lost was a fake one. There is a lot to be interpreted here, especially the fact that Madame Loisel never even thought to ask if the necklace she was borrowing was made of real diamonds or not. She just assumed it was because that is how she views rich people. She thinks of them as having money to spare, so they would have no reason to buy a fake necklace.

The ending also reveals Maupassant's own attitude toward status. Unlike his character, he is not fooled by a person's appearance of wealth. It is all appearance after all, a façade. There is no reason to marvel at the life of a wealthy person. They are not happier or better than anyone else.

Actually, things will be as man will have decided they are to be. Does that mean that I should abandon myself to quietism? (“Existentialism,” p. 1174)

Based on its use in this context, the word quietism most likely means _

Some animals are able to regenerate new animals entirely from a piece of them. It is not as common among starfish, but worms, sea cucumbers, and sponges can regenerate new animals. If a flat worm, for example, is cut into pieces, each piece will grow into a new worm. Sea cucumbers can also multiply after being cut into pieces. Their bodies can be up to three feet long, and each new piece, after being cut, can become a new sea cucumber. And if sponges are divided, the sponges’ cells will regrow and combine in the exact same way they did before being divided

what is the best summary for this paragraph?
A. Some animals can regrow new animals from one piece. A new worm or sea cucumber can grow from one piece of an old one. Divided sponges regrow to be exactly how they were before the division.
B. Some animals can regrow new animals from a small piece of an old animal. If a flat worm is cut up, each piece will grow into a new worm. It is exactly the same way that sea cucumbers can regenerate.
C. Flat worms can be grown from pieces of another flat worm. So if a flat worm was cut into four pieces, four flat worms would grow—one from each piece. Sponges do not regenerate in the same way.
D. Animals like sea cucumbers can grow from a piece of the same kind of animal. Sea cucumbers are about three feet long. If they are cut up, new sea cucumbers will grow from each old piece.

Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."


If anything gets in the way of our good eating, it's lifestyle. When you get home from work late, why spend an hour in front of the stove when you can spend two minutes at the microwave? And doesn't that oatmeal box claim to be a good source of calcium for our kids, never mind the small print listing 14 grams of sugar? A small soda at the movies could satisfy a family of four. Even schools have vending machines.
