Question

In "The Necklace," Madame Loisel discovers, after working for ten years to pay off the expensive necklace she borrowed and lost, that the necklace was a fake (worth no more than 500 francs). This discovery is an example of which type of irony?

verbal

situational

dramatic

Answer 1

Situational

Step-by-step explanation:

The irony is situational because of the fact that Madame Loisel wanted to borrow the diamond necklace in the first place so that she would be closer to the life she wanted. Meaning higher in social class. However, this necklace ended up putting both her and her husband in poverty when she lost it, with the life she didnt want, after working for years to pay it off. When in the end they discovered it was fake and worth no more than 500 francs. This is why it is situational irony.

Hope this is helpful! :)
