Answer:

Madame Loisel is described as a character/ woman who is selfish, ungrateful and also greedy, who complains a lot to her husband, and wants all the finer things of life.

Step-by-step explanation:

The short story "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant tells the story of a woman married to a lowly clerk but has such high ambitions, way even above their capacity. Mrs. Loisel is characterized as a woman who finds no satisfaction in whatever her husband does. She wants to be like the rich high society women, clothed in wealth, living in big houses and living the life of a wealthy lady. But, as fate would have it, she is married to a lowly clerk, barely able to maintain the household. After he bought the ball invitation, she complains that she has no presentable dress to wear. And her husband had to give up his savings just to get her a new dress. Even then, she seems discontent, asking for an accompanying jewelry to finish her 'rich' look. And the one chance they ever had to improve their lives was shattered by her selfish need to be 'presentable' among the other ladies. She is ungrateful for all that her husband had done, greedy for the things that aren't accessible for people like them, and selfish in her attempts or efforts to look like one of the wealthier ladies. She is the perfect epitome of a person trying to emulate the ways of the social class that is way above their own ability.
