I'd suggest that Mathilde in "The Necklace" is human-like, a mixture of positive and negative traits. This is a story the interpretation of which reveals as much about the reader as it does the story. Condemning Mathilde is harshly judgemental and shows a simplistic interpretation. Every piece of evidence from before the loss of the necklace that can be used to condemn her can also be used to suggest, say, that she is similar to a frustrated artist.
And though the choosing to not reveal the loss of the necklace is certainly misguided, one can't help but see the honor and nobility in it.
Answer:
Mathilde's is a self considerate and arrogant person . She always dreamt about luxurious of life rather than working hard for it and being happy with what she had. And she is responsible for the misery of her life.
hope it helps you...
