Who is the best decision maker. matilda or her husband The Necklace
Answers
I would say neither Matilda nor her husband is a good decision-maker.
EXPLANATION:
Matilda was a person who was discontent with her life as she was married to the clerk and leads a very ordinary life. She always dreamt of being rich and famous. She suffered greatly because of her desire to look rich and chic. In order to be like rich people, she took decisions that affected her life badly.
False pride caused her many sufferings. When she had lost Madam Frostier’s necklace, instead of confessing the truth to her, Matilda lied to her. This mistake of hers made her whole life miserable and dark. On the other hand, her husband who loved Matilda a lot agreed to all her demands, thus sacrificing his needs and finally losing his inheritance getting into a huge debt due to the loss of necklace.
Instead of advising Matilda to confess the truth about the loss of necklace, he agreed with Matilda’s decision of buying the necklace. This led to Matilda and her husband leading a miserable life to pay off the debts taken to buy the necklace. However, the irony was that the cause of all these sufferings was a false necklace. Thus, we can conclude neither Matilda nor her husband was good decision-makers.
