Question
What was the twist that was disclosed at the end of the story?
Solution
When Matilda blames Mme Forestier for her miseries and pitiful condition and discloses the truth to her at the end of the story, Mme Forestier tells her that her necklace was fake. It was worth five hundred francs only. This twist changes the whole course of the story. It generates sympathy for the Loisels as they wasted ten years of their lives on account of their foolishness.
