This idea is successfully presented by portraying Mathilde as a social climber. She is envious of the narrator. Her desire for admiration is her downfall. This shallow personality embodied by Mme. Loisel enhances the theme by arousing sympathy for the upper class.
Most authors generally provide the race, gender, and age of the narrator of a story.
However, determining the class level of the story's narrator through paying particular attention to obscure details is often as helpful in understanding the meaning of a short story as the other elements of fiction. Though frequently overlooked, this factor often affects a story's plot with as much of an impact, if not more, as the setting and point of view. Generalizations regarding the different levels of society are subtly intertwined with other important facts. The society of a short story's narrator, whether the narrator is an active character or outside the story, is an influential factor concerning the presentation of the different classes in the story, therefore directly affecting the plot.
