Question

describe the character sketch of Ben jordan

Answer 1

Mrs Slater is clever, manipulative and mean, much like her sister Mrs. Jordan. Their aim inlife is to do nothing for their father and derive maximum benefit. If Amelia takes away her father’s slippers, bureau and clock, Elizabeth wants to take away her father’s watch. Both the ladies spare no thought for their father and worry about outdoing each other in wearing mourning dresses. For them the death of their father is like a drama that needs to be staged with best outfits. Both the husbands are henpecked and they go according to their wives. Henry knows that his wife is an opportunist but he assists her in carrying the bureau down. The husbands have no individualities except to pamper the whims of their wives.

Answer 2

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.
