I need help in finding a topic to write about from the short story "The Necklace" that relates to how the necklace changes Madame Loisel's confidence....

You
could write about the way the status of Madame Loisel only appears to change through the wearing
of the necklace and about how her confidence is false or only fleeting, a bit like Cinderella's
- it is all due to change very shortly.

She has four things in her favor at
the Ball - two attributes are real and hers alone (her beauty,her lively bright personality) but
two are false (a ball gown they couldn't afford and a necklace which doesn't belong to her, and
which itself later turns out to be fake.)

Think about these things:

What is Madame Loisel's first physical reaction to the necklace?

What is she afraid of if she goes to the Ball 'unprepared?'

Explain
in the detail the sentence where she is pretty and popular at the Ball. How is she feeling
inside? How does the necklace contribute to that? Does it make her 'feel like a
million...
