Answer:

Mathilde longed for financial freedom, luxury, beautiful furniture, social standing, delicate meals, exquisite serving utensils, and a life of ease. She felt that she deserved better than what she had. She was especially unhappy with her husband as she felt she should have married into a higher social class. Loisel seems like the simple, happy, good guy in the story, a foil for his perpetually dissatisfied wife. Monsieur Loisel wants to please his wife, who he loves, whereas Madame Loisel is self-absorbed and indifferent to her husband. He has married a beautiful wife, who he sees as a prize, whereas she is frustrated by being married to a man of her own lower middle class status rather than a fabulous aristocrat.
