Read the passage from "The Necklace." "He threw over her shoulders the wraps he had brought, the modest wraps of common life." What does the narrator mean by the metaphor "the modest wraps of common life?" Mathilde's wrap suggests her ambitions of wealth and her dream of advancing into high society. Mathlide's wrap represents her poverty and that she is not a member of the upper class. Mathilde's wrap is symbolic of the difference between her and her husband. Mathlide's wrap shows her humility.
