Answer:
Mathilde Loisel is the beautiful but disillusioned protagonist of Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Necklace." She lives in a middle class world with her husband, a clerk with the Department of Education, who provides her with the necessities of Parisian life, but Mathilde dreams of bigger things. She believes that she was destined for a life among the wealthy upper class, and this overwhelming desire has virtually consumed her. Her unhappiness will be quenched by jewelry, fine clothing and extravagant meals, she believes, and her husband tries to appease her when possible. She suffered intensely, feeling herself born for every delicacy and every luxury. She suffered from the poverty of her dwelling, from the worn walls, the abraded chairs, the ugliness of the stuffs. All these things, which another woman of her caste would not even have noticed, tortured her and made her indignant.
