The irony can be found in the fact that Madame Loisel has spent years laboring to pay the debt incurred from replacing Madame Forestier's necklace. Too proud to for costume jewelry.... Madame Loisel borrows what she believes to be the real thing..... as she would never dream Madame Forestier would wear paste. Alas, she has spent years paying back money for lost fake that she replaced with the real thing.
