In this course the literature work that meant the most to me was “The Necklace”  ,by Guy de Maupassant. This story was a work that has resonated deeply with me. This story showed the consequences of pride ,materialism, and the pursuit of social status can  impact you and causes you to make bad choices. The narrative follows the character of Mathilde Loisel, a woman who becomes consumed by her wealth and social recognition. When she borrows the necklace  to wear to a high-society event and later loses it, that showed how fake some people can be , and how some people are not confident in themselves .I shows how to reflect on you own values and priorities. However ,it underscores the idea that true fulfillment and happiness cannot be found in the pursuit of material wealth and social status alone, but rather in embracing one’s circumstances with humility and gratitude .I believe you should not live beyond your means to please anyone . This lesson was an eye opener for me.
