what does mathilde spend so much of her time fantasizing about in the beginning of the story? Why do you think de Maupassan describes these thoughts so thoroughly as a part of introducing Mathildes Character?

Mathilde fantasizes about being rich and living a life of affluence and privilege. This is a motif throughout the story. It serves as the subtext for everything that happens including after she loses the necklace.
