Candy and Mathilde are willing to sacrifice themselves to belong to a world that rejects them because they both believe they will only be happy that way, as it is this world that ensures they feel successful.

Based on this, we can answer the above questions as follows:

  • The sources of motivation between the two characters are different. While Mathilde wants to feel successful and rich. Candy wants to feel useful, strong, and relevant.
  • Mathilde's simple life and ambition are what influence her to want to live in a rich environment, as she feels dissatisfied with the simplicity in which she lives. Candy, on the other hand, is influenced by the environment where everyone is working hard and the memories of how he was able to do these jobs when he was younger.
  • Mathilde's wish is the result of naivete, but Candy's wish is reasonable, as it's something he lost and he can't have again.

It is possible to draw these conclusions, as Mathilde is a character in the short story "The Necklace," where she harms herself with the desire to be part of high society.

Candy, on the other hand, is a character from the book "Of Mice and Men" and is an old farm worker, who has lost his hand and can no longer work as he used to when he was young and completely healthy.
