Mathilde is eager to leave the ball quickly primarily to keep people from noticing her poor coat. She feels embarrassed about her modest clothing compared to the wealth and elegance of others attending the ball. This anxiety about her appearance is a central theme in Guy de Maupassant's story "The Necklace," highlighting her desire for social status and acceptance.
