Detailed explanation-1: -She believes she was meant to live a wealthy life, and has high hopes for an elegant and luxurious life. This is shown in story when it says that “She suffered constantly, feeling that all her attributes of a gracious life, even luxury, should have rightfully been hers.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Selfishness led Madame Loisel to feel as if her life wasn’t good enough, and feel as if she deserved better. She did not appreciate the life she had, spending her time day dreaming about living a life of luxury.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: She longs for jewels, expensive tapestries, and fine furniture. Madame Loisel does not value her possessions and feels they are unworthy. In addition to her desire for material things, she longs to be the object of others’ desires and to be envied by other women.
Detailed explanation-4: -It doesn’t sound like she just wants it because she’s money-obsessed. No, for Mathilde, the rich life is attractive because it’s glamorous, beautiful, exciting, fine, and unlike the dingy apartment in which she lives. The glamorous life has a certain kind of magical allure to it.
