The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant The main character in The Necklace, Mathilde Loisel, is perceived to be narcissistic.
Though everything is tidy and serviceable in the Loisels modest apartment, Mathilde is unhappy with the “worn” walls, “shabby” furniture, and “ugly” curtains, despite the fact that she has a cleaning lady and little to do all day besides dream of a better life. This shows how Mathilde is ungrateful for what she has, and feels poorly for herself for not having better. It also shows how she always fixates on flaws and demands the best to be happy.
She does not have the wardrobe or selection of jewelry that she wants, and “those were the only things that she loved”, even though her wardrobe now works, she thinks it is not proper
