Question

Characterskecth of ben

Answer 1

Ben is surely a practical and a very big hypocrite in the play The Dear Departed. He is practical when he says that everyone has got to die some day. This shows that he is not at all mournful of the fact that Abel passed away. Ben called Abel Merry Weather 'the drunken old beggar' because the latter had not paid the premium for his insurance. This meant that none of the family members would be able to get his insurance money. This angered and disgusted everyone in their family. This incidence shows that Ben was very logical, and very materialistic. He did not believe in the importance of relationships.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mr Jordan was rather a jolly little man, who liked being humorous on all occasions. He had a bright, chirpy little voice. He was also quite greedy as it was he who reminded the gathering about grandfather's insurance money and the premium when they were discussing his assets for the division. He, like the other characters is also excited about getting his share of property after the supposed death of the grandfather. He too doesn't bother to have a doctor called to examine the grandfather.
