Detailed explanation-1: -She did not want to be noticed by the other woman who was wrapping themselves in rich furs. It shows the hypocrisy and show-off life of Mme Loisel and her dissatisfaction, anger and frustration with life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Her desire for wealth is a constant pain and turmoil. She cannot visit her wealthy friend Madame Forestier without being overcome with jealousy, and the idea of going to a party without expensive clothes drives her to tears.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Mathilde Loisel is anxious to hurry away from the minister’s ball because of what Maupassant calls her “wraps.” She has a nice new gown and a diamond necklace, but she only has cheap, old outer garments to wrap around her shoulders before venturing out into the cold early-morning air.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The wrap which Matilda’s husband threw around her shoulders was the modest one whose poverty clashed with the elegance of the ball costume. Matilda did not wish to be noticed by the other rich women so, she hurried away and did not wait for her husband to call a cab for returning home.
