Storyboard Text

  • I wish for extravagent meals, ones in large excentrant dinnning rooms filled with shiny silverware and people to wait on you. Not simple beef stew for the poverty stricken!
  • Mathilde is a middle class woman. Her husband is a humble clerk for the misistry of education and they live a decent life, yet Mathilde always wants more. Her life is not to her desires. she wants to be rich, of high class, and adored.
  • Ah! Good Beef stew! My favourite!
  • I can't go! I wouldn't have a thing to wear!
  • If I were to wear that people would think we live in a slum and reside in poverty.
  • Mathildes husband came home one evening with an invitation to a select ball for the Ministry of Educaation, but Mathilde was very upset as she didnt have anything sutible to wear and didnt want to seem poor in front of so many rich people.
  • Mathilde! I have managed to get us an invitation to the ball held for the Ministry of Education! It was very difficult to get as it was very select!
  • InvitaionA ball for the ministry
  • What about the blue dress you wear to the theater! It looks stunning on you!
  • Oh why this ball is extravagent! Thank God we managed to afford a new dress and that Mme. Forestier let me borrow her elgeant necklace!
  • I know! All the men are asking to dance with me!
  • Mathilde ended up going to the ball as her husband let her buy a dress and Mathildas rich friend, Mme. Forestier, lent her a stunning necklace. Mathilda was the most elegent and beautiful woman at the ball.
  • Oh yes, and you look showstopping darling.
  • Oh God! Oh no! I'll go searching for it!
  • When Mathilde got home from the ball she realized her necklace was gone. She thought she left it in the cab, so her husband went out searching, but came home hours later empty handed
  • Oh no! The necklace! It's gone!
  • I had it on the entire time at the ball! I must have left it in the cab on the journey home!
  • I wonder where I would be now if I hadn't misplaced that silly old necklace.
  • Mathilde and her husband ended up secretly replacing the necklace without Mme. Forestiers knowing. The necklace cost them 32, 000 francs, which took them 10 years to repay. They ended up living in true poverty. Working night and day to try and repay their debts caused their hair to turn grey and their moods to be sour.
  • Oh dear. Mathilde, that necklace was a fake. It cost 200 francs at most.
  • Mme. Forestier! It's me, Mathilde!
  • Yes! thats because I lived 10 years in poverty trying to repay the stupid old necklace I lost that YOU had lent me for the ball.
  • A little while after the debt of the necklace was repayed, Mathilde saw Mme. Forestier on a walk in a nearby park. Mathilde decided to confess the story to Mme. Forestier, as she decided it had been a long enough time since the incident. Little did she know what information Mme. Forestier would reveal.
  • Oh my! How different you look, I almost didnt recognize you!
