Madame Loisel is so unsatisfied with her life at the beginning of the story because she feels she was born for a life of luxury and elegance, but instead is trapped in a modest existence due to her social and economic status. Specific evidence from the text highlights that she was "born for all delicacies and luxuries," yet she is married to a lowly clerk and lives in a humble home. She feels deprived and anguished by the poverty of her surroundings—the worn-out furniture, ugly curtains, and the general simplicity of her life—when compared to her dreams of rich tapestries, vast antechambers, and splendid furniture. She also envies wealthier acquaintances and distances herself from a rich friend because their prosperity only highlights what she lacks. This deep dissatisfaction and yearning for more than what she has causes her constant unhappiness and internal conflict at the story's start.
