She stand on top of her husband in every way possible, making herself look pitiful and small. But in truth, her delicate features hid her overwhelming pride. When an invitation to a grand ball came, Mathilde sobbed uncontrollably. Her pride made Mathilde troubled by her lack of elegant dresses and jewelries. She disliked the thought of being inferior, surrounded by well-groomed ladies. Being sympathetic, her husband threw his savings on the table, assuring her that she will get her dress. However, Mathilde was still not satisfied. “I’m utterly miserable at not having any jewels, not a single stone, to wear,” she said. Fortunately, Mathilde had a wealthy friend, so she is able to obtain what she had imagined. Arriving at the ball, Mathilde was envied. While having such a wonderful time, it was known later that the borrowed diamond was missing. The Loisels were flabbergasted, searching everywhere. Because of Mathilde’s pride, she refused to confess to her friend, fearing being scolded
