The latter half of the story makes it evident that the course of the Loisel’s life changed due to the necklace. They were unable to find the lost necklace anywhere so decided to purchase a new one with the exact design for Mme Loisel. However, the necklace costed them 36000 francs and they had only 18000 francs. For the remaining amount, they took loans from various people. To pay the borrowed amount, they had to undergo extreme suffering. To cut down on their expenses, they sent away their maid and rented rooms in an attic. Mme Loisel washed the dishes, soiled linen and their clothes. Poverty and the changed lifestyle made Mme Loisel a crude woman. Her beauty faded away and age took over her looks.
