When does Madame Loisel discover that the necklace is missing?

Madame Loisel has a most successful evening, dancing the night away while her husband dozes in a corner. When it is time to go home, Monsieur Loisel gathers up some of her everyday things to cover her when they go outside, since it is cold.  She does not want anyone to see her in these clothes, since they are not as nice or as fancy as she would like, so she hurries out, and then...

Madame Loisel has a most successful evening, dancing the night away while her husband dozes in a corner. When it is time to go home, Monsieur Loisel gathers up some of her everyday things to cover her when they go outside, since it is cold.  She does not want anyone to see her in these clothes, since they are not as nice or as fancy as she would like, so she hurries out, and then the couple cannot find a taxi. Eventually, they find a humble carriage, which deposits them at home.  When Madame Loisel pauses to admire herself in front of the mirror, reliving her glorious evening, she realizes the necklace is missing.  They search everywhere in the house, and then Monsieur Loisel goes out to try to retrace their steps, but he comes home in failure.  Thus, Madame Loisel's actions, her haste, her unwillingness to live happily within her means, and her dishonesty set the stage for many years of hard work and grinding poverty.

How can I analyze Moon and Six Pence by Somerset Maugham?

In "Moon and Sixpence," loosely based on the life of Paul Gaugin, Maugham presents a study of the tension between the "civilized" life of 19th century Europe, and the lead character's desire to throw off the shackles of bourgeois life. Charles Strickland is a middle-aged English stockbroker with a wife and family. By abandoning his domestic life, Strickland commits what many in European society would consider a gross betrayal of one of the foundations of...

What are some literary devices in Macbeth, Act V, Scene 1?

Act V, Scene i of Macbeth certainly continues the imagery that is prevalent in the play with its phantasmagoric realm, as in this scene a succession of things are seen or imagined by Lady Macbeth. Imagery - The representation of sensory experience Lady Macbeth imagines that she sees bloody spots (visual imagery) on the stairs; she also smells blood (olfactory imagery): Here's the smell of the blood still.
