Mathilde may not be first class, but she still has a nice apartment, a comfortable lifestyle, well-groomed hands and even a maid to do all the household chores . These facts demonstrate that Mathilde belongs to the middle class, most likely the upper half. Even though he seems to have a great life, he only sees what he doesn't have and compares himself to the women of the first class. Her dissatisfied character is described “as if she had gone bankrupt” (paragraph 2). Egocentrism creates the loss of one's priorities. Having the best in terms of materials, being the envy of every woman and the attraction of every man are her life goals. As for her dissatisfied character, she misses the wonderful life she has and even when her middle class life is gone, she still doesn't look back fondly on the memories, which is all she has of her previous life. More importantly, she continues to miss the love and care her husband gives her and continues to resent her parents for not having first-class connections and having to settle for marrying her husband, Mr. Loisel, because he is not a rich and famous person.
