The Jewelry’ by Guy Maupassant
After reading “The Jewelry” by Guy Maupassant, I feel that it shows the reality of human
greed. The story is a true depiction of what happens in our daily live when human greed takes
over us. People are not able to think clearly and are completely changed by things that are
deemed of great value. In the story, Lantin a man who found out that his wife might have been
cheating on him with a patron ignores the facts due to the possessions of wealth he will gain.
Greed blinds him from the truth as it has done to too many people in our world. We stay blind to
the truth due to the physical gains that we will have. I also believe it depicts how people can have
different sides to their characters. Lantin’s wife is seen as faithful but turns out to be the
opposite. It happens in our modern world whereby people hide their true personalities and only
what they want others to see.
The short story by the author has only three characters and there is little actual conflict.
The drama seems to lie with one person who is Matilde Loisel. Matilde is married to Monsieur
Lantin whom she claims to love and vice versa. They live in poverty as Lantin cannot afford a
comfortable life leave alone luxurious jewelry. Matilde, however, possesses some of the
luxurious jewelry that Lantin has ever seen. He approaches her and she ensures him that they are
fake as she cannot afford the real ones. She explains that she keeps them as she loves jewelry and
that they are absolutely nothing to worry about. They are not expensive according to her and they
only show her of a better life. Lantin believes his wife and does not press further on the issue and
does not even inquire about the financial support that he receives from his wife.
After Matilde dies out of pneumonia, Lantin suffers to cope with life needs as he does not
have the financial power. The only possession that his wife has left is just fake jewelry that might

not be of use to him. Or so it seems. It brings conflict between him and Matilde for deceit. This
happens after he realizes that they are actually real and does not understand why his wife would
have such expensive possessions yet they lived a poor life. It dawns on him that it is possible that
Matilde has a patron who bought her all the jewelry that she owns. His wife loved him and it
appears that the marriage was all a lie. The irony is created by Lantin as he lived a poor life yet
he had some of the most expensive possessions. He did not understand then as the irony was also
caused by deceit.
Since Matilde is dead and he cannot confront her, he chooses to sell the jewelry and live a
better and luxurious life. Many would expect that Lantin will result to being hurt by his deceitful
wife but he instead seeks to benefit from it. The jewels prove to be what he thought and provide
him with a life that he never thought he would have ever lived. Irony is again created by Lantin
who seems not to dwell on deceit but what it can bring to him.
The resolution by Lantin does not affect anyone else but benefits him a lot. He leads the
life he always dreamt of and does not focus on what happened to his wife. He knows that she
was not faithful and does not have time to dwell on the past. The patron is not identified and does
not claim the jewelry hence Lantin has complete ownership on them. The conflict appears to be
resolved as he grateful more than hurt. He has been living a life of deceit and all has been
revealed and he has no reason to be angry with Matilde as he has all that he needs and Matilde is
also dead.
Deceit is the main theme and contributes a lot to the structure. At first, one would tell that
Lantin and Matilde are in an affair which they love each other. One will not understand that they
are living a lie. The fact also eludes Lantin himself and is not able to see beyond the lies. She

even tells him that the jewels are fake something that Lantin does not notice. He believes and
trusts his wife, which he should not, but the level of deceit in the structure eludes him. The
structure contributes to the conflict as it first shows a couple who love each other and then it
turns out that they are living a lie and that is not true. Lantin also pretends to love theater which
is actually not true. He is aslo deceitful something which cannot be seen beyond his good will.
The structure also plays a big role in promoting the conflict. No matter how small the
conflict seems to be, it eludes them making it bigger at each time. The structure also plays a role
is solving the problem that has occurred. In the structure, Matilde dies which paves way for
Lantin to find out the truth. When he finds out, he cannot confront his wife about the jewelry so
he opts to sell them. Matilde cannot have any claim of ownership which leads to finding a
solution to the problem easily. Lantin does not seem to worry anymore about what happened in
the past as he has more than what he had. He moves on and forgets about Matilde and focuses
solely on his own life. He does not seem to have loved his wife as he claimed as otherwise he
would have been very angry with her.
