Model Answer

Yes, I believe it is possible to love a person for their inner beauty alone. True love is based on qualities like kindness, honesty, care, and loyalty rather than physical appearance. Physical looks fade with time, but a good character remains constant. The story of The Necklace shows how Mme Loisel, obsessed with external beauty, ruined her life, while her husband loved her genuinely regardless of appearance. Inner beauty creates a deeper, lasting bond that is far more meaningful than mere physical attraction.

Explanation

This is a personal opinion question, so there is no single correct answer — but your response must be justified with reasoning. Examiners look for: a clear opinion (Yes/No), 2–3 supporting reasons, and ideally a reference to the text (Mme Loisel's obsession with appearance vs. her husband's genuine affection). Avoid vague statements; be specific and logical.
