One
could say that the black satin box in which Madame Forestier keeps the fake diamond necklace is
deeply symbolic. It conjures up images of Pandora's box, an artifact in Ancient Greek mythology
which, when opened, unleashed all manner of evil upon an unsuspecting world. Opening Pandora's
box has come to mean doing something that will cause unforeseen problems, and that's definitely
what happens in "" when Mathilde opens up Madame Forestier's jewelry box.
As far as she's concerned, she's simply borrowing a beautiful diamond necklace that
will make her the belle of the Education...
