Scene 1
Narrator: Good morning to everyone, our group will present a role play entitled, "The Necklace".
Once, a girl was born in a certain family of artisans. . . .
. . . and was wedded to a little clerk of the Ministry of Education, Monsieur Loisel. Now, she suffered endlessly in poverty.
(Madame Mathilde enters. She sits down and looks around. Grimaces and murmurs to herself)
Mathilde: Ugh! I hate this life. Living in a poor house with its mean walls, worn chairs, and ugly curtains! What I really want is to be a bon vivant, to live in an elegant house, with chambers heavy oriented tapestries, vast saloons hung with antique silk and exquisite pieces of furniture. I want to escape poverty! (sighs)

(Monsieur Loisel and Madame Mathilde enter. They sit down to eat. A servant delivers a tray with two pieces of soup-tureen. Monsieur Loisel takes the cover off the soup-tureen.)
Monsieur Loisel: Aha! Scoth broth! What could be better?
(He ladles some soup to his bowl. He takes a spoonful) Hmmm... it's delicious!
(He notices Mathilde who was not eating her soup)What's the matter, my dear?
Mathilde: (She scrunches her nose, and then pushes the bowl away.) I'm not hungry.
(She stands up.) I'm still imagining of the delicate meals in gleaming silver that I want to dream for today's dinner. But this is what we've got?
Monsieur Loisel: But this soup tastes bet---
Mathilde: Hmph!Just eat it alone!
(Madame Mathilde exits. Monsieur Loisel shrugs his shoulders.)
