9-3 Honors 9-28-15 Tone and Mood in Short Stories Many literary terms are used when describing short stories, including tone and mood.

money to buy Jeanne a necklace like her’s to replace the one she lost and in the end, it was fake. Mathilde spent thirty-six thousand francs when the necklace and it would have only costed five hundred francs. This is why the ending of the story is ironic. 3. I think the author is painting Mathilde life very unsympathetic. I think this because at the beginning of the story you find out she is living a very poor life. Then towards the middle you find out that the diamond necklace she was borrowing went
“The Necklace,” by Guy de Maupassant, Mme.Loisel, the main character, is ungrateful and embarrassed. The first character trait, Madame Loisel is portrayed as ungrateful. This character trait is apparent when Mme. Loisel gets an invite to a party from her husband. Instead of being happy, she is snobbish and says to him, “What good is that to me?” This demonstrates her as being ungrateful by saying it in a not so very nice tone. Madame Loisel, in the story “The Necklace,” by Guy de Maupassant really
“no longer seems familiar, only strange.” Finally, the necklace breaks, lifting an “albatross” from the wife and changing the tone from solemnness to melancholy. In Kate Bass’s poem she uses the symbolistic value of a necklace value of a necklace to convey that love cannot be taken for granted. At the beginning Bass illustrates the wife’s memories of the better parts of her relationship. “When I know you are coming home I put on this necklace… I like to think I am remembering you. I like to think

Though her story ended differently, Madame Loisel, the protagonist from Guy de Maupassant’s The Necklace, reminds of the fairy tale Cinderella. Cinderella, a poor girl treated like a slave by her step family, one night has the opportunity to attend the prince’s ball when her Fairy Godmother arrives and grants her a dress and a pair of glass slippers. She has one requirement: to be back by midnight, though she is evidently a few minutes late and loses a glass slipper while rushing. All she has left

Victor Frankenstein, a very dedicated scientist, decided to pursue the idea of making his own “son,” one day he decided to take on this challenge. Using corpses and natural electricity from lightning, the Creature came to life. When
Vertigo opens with an amazingly haunting piece of music that puts the viewer in the right frame of mind for what is to come. Similar to the film, this title sequence is meant to distort our reality: in zooming in on different body parts of the female at the beginning, one loses the sense of the big picture (e.g. her body in general); through the swirls present throughout the rest of the music, the viewer loses his or her sense of direction and focus.
