Question

Que.9 What was the real mistake of Matilda ? Could she have averted her suffering?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The real mistake of Matilda was that she did not tell the truth to her friend. Instead, she took a debt of so much money and bought a new necklace to return her. She could have averted her sufferings if she had confessed to her friend that she had lost her necklace. Then her friend could have told her that it was not more than 500 francs and Matilda would not have taken a debt because of which she had to suffer for ten years.
