Mathilde Loisel is “pretty and charming” but feels she has been born into a family of unfavorable economic status. She was married off to a lowly clerk in the Ministry of Education, who can afford to provide her only with a modest though not uncomfortable lifestyle.

She possesses no fancy jewels or clothing, yet these are the only things she lives for. Without them, she feels she is not desirable. She has one wealthy friend, Madame Forestier, but refuses to visit her because of the heartbreak it brings her.

<em>"The </em><em>w</em><em>eary, </em><em>w</em><em>ay-</em><em>w</em><em>orn </em><em>w</em><em>anderer borne"</em>
- The repetition of the "w" sound is used to make us think of the swooshing sound the waves of the ocean produce.
- With that, we can conclude the poet adds to the effect of the stanza by allowing readers to picture the scene being described more vividly.
