Question

[3]
18. Write a character sketch of Bob Acres.
Section​

Answer 1

Answer:

An impressionable and naïve country landowner, Acres is attempting to make himself more fashionable and sophisticated in order to win over the affections of Lydia Languish. His attempts to swear genteelly, learn French dances, and change his hairstyle all fall flat, however. Before Sir Anthony suggested Absolute as a partner for Lydia to Mrs. Malaprop, Malaprop supported Acres in his desire to marry her ward. Acres feels upset at then being put off and supposes that he is being supplanted by “Beverley.” Sir Lucius works him up and convinces him to challenge Beverley to a duel, but like the other elements of gentlemanly polish that Acres lacks, he lacks the courage required to fight and potentially die for his honor.

Act 2, Scene 1 Quotes

ACRES

Ha! ha! you've taken notice of it—'tis genteel, isn't it!—I didn't invent it myself though; but a commander in our militia, a great scholar, I assure you, says that there is no meaning in the common oaths, and that nothing but their antiquity makes them respectable;—because, he says, the ancients would never stick to an oath or two, but would say, by Jove! or by Bacchus! or by Mars! or by Venus! or by Pallas, according to the sentiment: so that to swear with propriety, says my little major, the oath should be an echo to the sense; and this we call the oath referential, or sentimental swearing—ha! ha! 'tis genteel, isn't it?

ABSOLUTE

Very genteel, and very new, indeed!—and I dare say will supplant all other figures of imprecation.
