Mrs. Loisel is never satisfied. She had dresses to wear to the dinner party, but no she needed something better. She was very manipulative in her ways of getting money from her husband.

Her husband always tried to convince her that what she had was sufficient, but she was never satisfied.

I’d almost rather not go to the party.” He responded: “You can wear a corsage of cut flowers. This year it’s all the rage. For only ten francs you can get two or three gorgeous roses.” She was not convinced. “No…there’s nothing more humiliating than looking shabby in the company of rich women.” Her husband tried to save money and give in to his wife, but once again her heart wasn’t content.
