QUESTION-1)What changes occurred in Matilda's Lifestyle after she had lost the necklace?
ANSWER:
When Matilda lost the necklace she borrowed from Mme Forestier, she bought a new diamond necklace on loan. The repayment of debt changed Matilda's life drastically. The Loisels became poor, they had to send away their maid and change their lodgings into an attic.
Matilda learned the household chores. She learned to do the dishes and wash the soiled linens, clothes, and dishcloths. She had to walk to the street to bring up the water. She had to dress like an ordinary woman and had to go to the grocery, butcher, and fruit seller all by herself keeping in mind to save each and every penny she could. Her husband also worked in the evenings. He used to put the books of some merchants in order and at night, he did copying at five sous a page. This miserable life lasted for ten years to repay the debt.
