Guy de Maupassant's "jewelry" theme is life full of irony. I think the author is actually a bit too much about this topic. Although I enjoy a lot of his overindulgence. Every irony shown in "The Jewelry" reveals how people keep each other's secrets and/or reveals that if people get enough compensation, they will ignore the situations that make them feel uneasy.
The plot shifts from a satire to the next to reveal these characteristics in M. Lantin and/or his first wife. The first two paragraphs reveal how respectable M. Lantin's wife is. But even in the early days of the story, the author stated, "No matter how young people dream of entrusting his future, this young girl seems to be the ideal candidate for a purely kind woman." "...appears..." Let the reader know that this young girl is not a pure woman that everyone brings her. This shows what the girl has concealed, but what it is, until the late story.
The second irony we encountered in this story is that they "...appear to live in luxury goods", in fact they do. Mr. Lanta did not know that his salary was being supplemented by his wife's lover. They pay for his food and wine. I believe that if he opens his eyes and looks at the financial situation of the family; he will know that the money comes from a place other than his salary. In this regard, M. Lantin was fooled by himself and his wife. But why not, he is very happy!
This brings us to the third irony. If Mr. Landing did not stop going to the theatre with his wife, then the other man would not have the chance to flirt with her and become her lover. In other respects, in addition to the theater and later jewelry, M. Lantin's wife has dedicated himself to him. In the fifth paragraph, it said: "It is impossible to imagine that she has no generous attention to her husband, gentle, playful caress..." She fell in love with her and loved her husband. In addition to her time in the theater, she serves him wholeheartedly. So if M. Lantin goes to the theater with his wife, then his presence will stop anything, just because his wife's attention will be concentrated on him or the theater, not another man. [The intermission is long enough for anyone to participate! Not to mention M. Lanting is at work.]
Of course, there is jewelry itself. Jewelry is real, and she behaves like a fake. Even let the lights capture the crystal and say, "Now, look at them - see how good the work is. You will swear that this is real jewelry." When he was jealous of her because of wearing jewelry, he was "made with the beauty of nature." Elegant decoration." I am sure she was having fun wearing her husband wearing jewelry and laughing at his gift of wearing her lover.
Then, when she died, Mr. Landing found that the jewelry was real. The lover's lover gave her jewelry a price for M. Lantin's debauchery. After he realized that he had money, Mr. Landing had forgotten his wife's affairs and deceived himself. Everything was fine as long as he had money. Six months after his wife died, he remarried into a good woman who made her life miserable.
This is the ultimate irony of this story and life. The happiest thing about us is to have fun, not to worry about what we do or what we are doing. We laugh, play and enjoy life anytime, anywhere. When we limit ourselves to certain moral standards, there is no change, space for understanding, or at least the ability to agree to disagree; we end up making our lives and the lives of everyone around us miserable. This is the ultimate irony of life!
