Chapter 7, THE NECKLACE

~Summary~

–by Guy De Maupassant 

Matilda Loisel and her Unhappiness –

Matilda Loisel, a middle class lady, desperately wished she were wealthy. She was very pretty and charming but had the bad luck to be born into a family of clerks and married to another clerk, M Loisel. Her husband worked as a clerk in the office of the Board of Education. Matilda was simple but she was unhappy. She was so convinced that she’s meant to be rich that she detested her real life and spent all day dreaming and despairing about the fabulous life that she was not having.

मटिल्डा लोइसल, एक मध्यम वर्ग की महिला, की सख्त इच्छा थी कि वह धनी हो। वह बहुत सुंदर और आकर्षक थी, लेकिन उसका दुर्भाग्य था कि वह क्लर्कों के परिवार में पैदा हुई और उसने एक अन्य क्लर्क, एम लोइसल से शादी की। उनके पति शिक्षा बोर्ड के कार्यालय में क्लर्क के रूप में काम करते थे। मटिल्डा सरल थी लेकिन वह दुखी थी। वह इतनी आश्वस्त थी कि वह अमीर बनने के लिए बनी है कि उसने अपने वास्तविक जीवन से घृणा की और सारा दिन उस शानदार जीवन के बारे में सपने देखने और निराश होने में बिताया जो उसके पास नहीं था।

M Loisel Brings an Invitation

One day, M Loisel brought an invitation to a fancy ball (party) organised by his boss, the Minister of Education. M Loisel thought that her wife would be delighted to read the invitation but she was not delighted to see the invitation. She told her husband that she did not have a good dress to wear to that occasion and asked him to give the invitation to his friend. Her husband M Loisel, told her that she could buy a new dress. He had saved four hundred francs to buy a gun to join some hunting parties. He said that he would give that money to her for buying a new dress.

एक दिन, एम लोइसल अपने बॉस, शिक्षा मंत्री द्वारा आयोजित एक फैंसी बॉल (पार्टी) का निमंत्रण लेकर आए। एम लोइसल ने सोचा कि उसकी पत्नी निमंत्रण पढ़कर प्रसन्न होगी लेकिन वह निमंत्रण देखकर प्रसन्न नहीं हुई। उसने अपने पति से कहा कि उसके पास उस अवसर पर पहनने के लिए अच्छी पोशाक नहीं है और उसने अपने मित्र को निमंत्रण देने के लिए कहा। उनके पति एम लोइसल ने उनसे कहा कि वह एक नई ड्रेस खरीद सकती हैं। उसने कुछ शिकार दलों में शामिल होने के लिए बंदूक खरीदने के लिए चार सौ फ़्रैंक बचाए थे। उसने कहा कि वह वह पैसे उसे नई ड्रेस खरीदने के लिए देगा।

Matilda Gets Necklace from Mme Forestier

Matilda brought a new dress but she was not happy. Her husband asked the reason of her sadness. She said that she would not go for the ball as she did not have jewellery to wear with the dress. He replied that she should wear some natural flowers, but she was not convinced. Then he advised her to borrow it from her friend, Mme Forestier. Next day, she went to her friend’s house and borrowed a necklace for the ball.

मटिल्डा एक नई पोशाक लाई लेकिन वह खुश नहीं थी। उसके पति ने उसकी उदासी का कारण पूछा। उसने कहा कि वह गेंद के लिए नहीं जाएगी क्योंकि उसके पास पोशाक के साथ पहनने के लिए आभूषण नहीं थे। उसने जवाब दिया कि उसे कुछ प्राकृतिक फूल पहनने चाहिए, लेकिन वह आश्वस्त नहीं थी। फिर उसने उसे सलाह दी कि वह इसे अपने दोस्त ममे फॉरेस्टियर से उधार ले। अगले दिन, वह अपनी सहेली के घर गई और गेंद के लिए एक हार उधार लिया।

Matilda at the Day of Ball

The night of the ball arrived and Matilda was happy at the occasion. She looked very beautiful in the dress. Everyone liked her and she was absolutely thrilled. She and her husband did not leave until 4 am. Then they caught a cab and returned home.

गेंद की रात आ गई और मटिल्डा इस अवसर पर खुश थी। ड्रेस में वह बेहद खूबसूरत लग रही थीं। हर कोई उसे पसंद करता था और वह बिल्कुल रोमांचित थी। वह और उसका पति सुबह 4 बजे तक नहीं निकले। फिर उन्होंने एक कैब पकड़ी और घर लौट आए।

The Necklace was Lost

When she returned home and was changing her dress, Matilda wanted to see her beauty in final view before the mirror. Suddenly, she noticed that the necklace was not around her neck. She was shocked to see that her necklace had got lost. She cried out and informed her husband that she had lost the necklace. Her husband searched for the necklace on every place, where they went last night. He went to the police and the cab offices. He also put an advertisement in the newspapers, but the necklace was not found. So he advised her wife to write a letter to her friend telling her that she needed some time to get the necklace repaired.

जब वह घर लौटी और अपनी पोशाक बदल रही थी, तो मटिल्डा आईने के सामने उसकी सुंदरता को अंतिम रूप से देखना चाहती थी। अचानक उसने देखा कि हार उसके गले में नहीं है। वह यह देखकर चौंक गई कि उसका हार गुम हो गया था। उसने रोते हुए अपने पति को बताया कि उसका हार खो गया है। उसके पति ने हर उस जगह पर हार की तलाश की, जहां वे कल रात गए थे। वह पुलिस और कैब कार्यालयों में गया। उसने अखबारों में विज्ञापन भी दिया, लेकिन हार नहीं मिला। इसलिए उसने अपनी पत्नी को अपनी सहेली को एक पत्र लिखने की सलाह दी जिसमें कहा गया था कि उसे हार की मरम्मत के लिए कुछ समय चाहिए।

Matilda Replace the Necklace

At last, Matilda decided to replace the necklace with a necklace that looked similar to it. Her husband gave her 18000 francs which his father had left for him. He took a loan of the remaining amount and purchased a diamond necklace for 36000 francs. She returned the necklace to her friend. Buying the necklace bought the Loisel in poverty. They lost their house, their maid, their comfortable lifestyle and on top of it all, Matilda lost her good-looking face.

अंत में, मटिल्डा ने हार को उसके समान दिखने वाले हार से बदलने का फैसला किया। उसके पति ने उसे 18000 फ़्रैंक दिए जो उसके पिता उसके लिए छोड़ गए थे। उसने शेष राशि का कर्ज लिया और 36000 फ़्रैंक के लिए एक हीरे का हार खरीदा। उसने हार अपनी सहेली को लौटा दिया। हार खरीदकर लोइसल को गरीबी में खरीदा। उन्होंने अपना घर, अपनी नौकरानी, ​​अपनी आरामदायक जीवन शैली खो दी और इन सबसे ऊपर, मटिल्डा ने अपना सुंदर चेहरा खो दिया।

The Truth Revealed Out

After ten years, all the debts were finally paid. One day Matilda was walking in the Champs-Elysees and saw Mme Forestier. She was looking charming and beautiful as she had looked ten years before. Now all the debts were paid off, Matilda decided to tell the story to Mme Forestier about her necklace. At this, Mme Forestier informed her that it was a fake necklace and the cost of it was only five hundred francs.

दस वर्षों के बाद, सभी ऋणों का अंत में भुगतान किया गया। एक दिन मटिल्डा चैंप्स-एलिसीज़ में टहल रहे थे और उन्होंने ममे फॉरेस्टियर को देखा। वह उतनी ही आकर्षक और खूबसूरत लग रही थी, जितनी वह दस साल पहले दिखती थी। अब सभी ऋण चुका दिए गए थे, मटिल्डा ने Mme फॉरेस्टियर को अपने हार के बारे में कहानी सुनाने का फैसला किया। इस पर, Mme फॉरेस्टियर ने उन्हें बताया कि यह एक नकली हार है और इसकी कीमत केवल पाँच सौ फ़्रैंक है।

Conclusion of The Necklace

In the chapter – The Necklace focuses that one should be content and satisfied with their belongings and not crave for expensive items that are not within their economical capabilities. Extreme desire for lavish items leads to unhappiness and loss of peace of mind.

अध्याय में – द नेकलेस इस बात पर केंद्रित है कि व्यक्ति को अपने सामान से संतुष्ट और संतुष्ट होना चाहिए और महंगी वस्तुओं के लिए लालसा नहीं रखना चाहिए जो उनकी आर्थिक क्षमताओं के भीतर नहीं हैं। भव्य वस्तुओं की अत्यधिक इच्छा दुख और मन की शांति की हानि की ओर ले जाती है।
