Allusion
It is like Cinderella because she is embarrassed of how poor she is and runs out on the ball leaving something very important.

Protagonist- Madame loisel; She is the main character

Antagonist- Madame loisel's grief ; Her grief holds her back and is fighting against her.

Tone
The tone is ironic because she thinks she's wearing an expensive necklace, but it isn't expensive. The tone is shocking because Loisle finds that the necklace is not expensive.

Dramatic irony
Dramatic irony is expressed through Louisel rejection from a part of society she so desires to be a part of. Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something that the characters do not and we can see her rejection more clearly than she. We can also see that her life really isn't that bad, which she has trouble recognizing because she is so worried about the things others have.
We know the necklace is missing

Situational irony
In the first paragraph, the narrator notes that Louisel is a charming girl and "by a mistake of destiny" was born to a family of clerks. The suggestion is that usually such a charming girl is born to more wealthy families. So, the actual result (that she was born into a poor family) is ironic considering that such a girl is usually expected to come from wealthy families. Louisel feels like she should have born into a richer life and she continues to crave that life despite being poor. However, this is not really dramatic irony because the reader and the character are aware of the same things. considers that God or some spiritual power has deemed her to be born into poor circumstances yet with a craving for a richer life, thus the gods are toying with her.

Verbal-Verbal irony is expressed by Louisal when her husband brings home the invitation and she says "I have no gown, and, therefore, I can't go to this ball. Give your card to some colleague whose wife is better equipped than I am." Louisal doesn't really want her husband to give the invitation away, she is being sarcastic which is the most common form of verbal irony. She wants a new dress.
