The complication that causes the conflict in " The Necklace " is for Madame Loisel to find the things in life that will make her fit into a higher social class. This is based on material things. In her mind she feels that she was deprived the life of a socialite and that she deserves to have whatever it takes to get her there. Mr. Loisel begins to take her on this journey by getting her a ticket to a very prestigious event that only "the finest" are invited to.
