Answer -
Matilda's high ambition was the main cause of her ruin. She always thought to move to high-class societies. She loved to be rich and famous. She forgot that she was born poor. Also, she married a man who was an ordinary clerk. She could have avoided her ruin. She was not satisfied with what she had. Matilda should not have imitated the rich people.
