(a short story review)
The fear of not having something we desire is uncontentment. People tend to want more when they already have much possessions. People also tend to pretend as someone else that everyone wanted them to be.
Mathilde Loisel was too conscious of herself that she overlook her true self. She failed to see that fame and money is not the meaning of happiness. She never had an expensive-looking diamond necklace before. And her uncontent attitude led her to perceive that it is genuinely expensive. Fear conquered her as she lied to her friend and exchanged the necklace into a same but real expensive one. And this yielded terrible results.
The bottom line?
Be the best of what you are. True people will appreciate you, not envious, materialistic people. There is only one you, because you are unique. You might not have everything you want, you might not be who you want to be but that is what makes you who you are. Just be you.

We had to present a drama. And I wrote this as the narrator's closing speech. Eeyup, I'm the narrator and we roleplayed the short story, The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant.
