Abstract
This research looks at fate and choice in Guy de Maupassant's "The Necklace" under the prism of existentialism. When Madame Loisel misplaces the pricey diamond necklace she was given to wear to a public function, her private life is completely turned upside down. Madame's conduct and perceptions of her surroundings are examined in this study using existentialist theories to understand her existential ideas about autonomy, freedom, responsibility, and the need for meaning in the world. This study reveals existence-based conceptions of authenticity and self-identity and investigates how her early beliefs in money and social standing will affect her decisions throughout life. This analysis demonstrates how Madame Loisel's tale illustrates the conflict between accepting one's fate and making one's owndecisions. Supplying a more profound comprehension of human nature and existence.
