What was the cause of Matilda's ruin? How could she have avoided it?

Answer 1

Matilda wanted to live life like a queen. Her family background did not permit this. She was not ready to accept her life's realities. She was hell bent on showing off. She could have avoided it by learning to accept her current situation. Another way could have been to try getting a job or starting a business. One should either try to work hard to realize one's dream or stop dreaming altogether.
