In guy de maupassant’s short story "the necklace," in what two ways do the characters affect the plot of the story?

Madame Loisel drives the plot in two very important ways. Firstly, her dissatisfaction at her humdrum, middle-class life leads her to borrow what turns out to be a fake necklace. Mathilde believes that she's entitled to better things and that what she thinks is an expensive necklace is just the thing to express her exalted self-image. For Mathilde, it doesn't matter what you are; it's what people think you are that counts. She's so shallow, so incredibly vain and superficial, that she's convinced that wearing expensive jewelry will be enough to make people think highly of her.

Explanation:

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
