I am evaluating the believability of the character Madame Loisel in the story The Necklace.

One of the biggest reasons that I think Madame Loisel is not believable as a character is because she worked for ten years to pay off a debt that could have been prevented in the first place. She could have prevented the debt by her just simply not losing the necklace, because, in reality, it would be very hard to lose a necklace because it is literally attached to her neck so, unless if she took it off, or it broke, it would be nearly impossible to lose it.

When I lose something of mine, my parents, or someone else's, I always tell that person about it, because I do not want to have to pay for it and I would not want them to think I stole it. Madame Loisel's situation is especially unbelievable because the item she lost was one a necklace, moreover, the necklace was really worthless conversely to Madame Loisel's contrary belief. Madame Loisel's friend had given her a paste necklace ,fake, but because Madame Loisel did not know this she bought her friend a real diamond necklace to replace
