Yes — I feel bad for Mathilde because she is driven by longing and social pressure; her vanity and pride lead her to make a single careless mistake that condemns her to a decade of needless hardship, which is tragic. At the same time she is responsible for the choices that cause the suffering (losing the necklace, hiding the truth), so my sympathy is tempered by her own role in the downfall.
Yes — I also feel bad for Loisel because he sacrifices his comfort, health, and years of his life out of love and duty to repair the damage, which is noble and heartbreaking. He is largely a victim of circumstances and his wife's unrealistic expectations, and his suffering feels undeserved given his steady, selfless character.
