My least favorite reading was “The Necklace”. It was my least favorite reading because Mathidle never learned anything. Mathidle was rude and unappreciative, and after everything, she still did not learn her lesson. In the story, Mathidle wanted tickets to the ball, and her husband got her some tickets. She wanted a new dress, and her husband gave her money for it. Then, she asked her old friend to borrow some of her jewelry. Instead of Mathidle taking whatever her old friend gave her, she was picky. Furthermore, she lost her friend’s necklace and she had her husband, who had to go to work in the morning, to look for it. In the end, after she spends those years as a servant to work off her debt. She still blamed her friend for her working all of those years. In reality, if Mathidle would have told the truth and owned up to her mistake things would have been different. In all honesty, it is not that I do not like this reading, I just hated the character’s personality.
