The conflict in the story "The Necklace" centers around greed and vanity. The main character's greed and vanity leads to her demise, and to lead a miserable life of hardship and woe. If she had been content with the blessings that she had in the first place, she would have never had to spend her entire life paying for the sacrifice that her greed demanded.
The main conflict, in literal terms, deals with the fact that Madame Loisel loses a very expensive necklace that a good friend loaned her, and has to spend her entire life working hard to earn the money to buy a replacement. The working drives her into poverty and ruins her life, at the same time teaching her valuable lessons about the value of hard work and earning one's own bread. It is a rather sad tale, especially considering the ending, when her friend, Madame Forestier, informs her that the lost necklace was worth next to nothing.
I hope that those thoughts helped good luck!
