• The cause of Matilda's ruin was her dissatisfaction with whatever life offered her. She was always unhappy. She felt that she was born for all the delicacies and luxuries. She disliked her circumstances.

Answer 2

Matilda’s pride and her materialistic aspirations coupled with her dishonesty paved the way for her ruin. She could avoid it by learning to accept her current situation and being content with what she had but she was not ready to accept her reality. She was a day-dreamer. She never behaved like a mature woman. She loved to have new and luxurious dresses. She liked to have jewellery. She was never satisfied. She did not follow her husband’s good advice. Thus, Matilda’s unrealistic dreams were the cause of her ruin. Another way could have been to try getting a job or starting a business. One should either try to work hard to realise one’s dreams or stop dreaming altogether.
