Question

what were the reasons which caused a great suffering to Matilda ?

Answer 1

Although Mathilde Loisel was "pretty and charming... she had no dowry, no expectations," and yet she is never satisfied with the life she lives. She is "unhappy" and "suffered ceaselessly" because she feels that somehow her "beauty, grace and charm" should "take the place of family and birth." She constantly laments over all of the things she could never have but feels she deserves, and complains bitterly to her husband over the family's poor financial status. When, at last, her husband presents her with an invitation to an evening gala, Mathilde is still unsatisfied because she has nothing appropriate to wear. Even when her husband allows her to buy a gown with the money he has been saving to purchase a gun, she complains even further.

Answer 2

Mathilde Loisel was very smart and pretty. About marriage, she had no dowry, no expectations.

But yet she is never satisfied with her life.

Beacuse she felt that she deserves a better family but she didn't.

So after marriage she complains bitterly to her husband for family's financial status.

At last when her husband gifted her a nice gown instead of purchase a gun, she complains even further.
