Question

Explain the characteristics of mrs slater in 120 words

Answer 1

Ben Jordan: Practical ,hypocritical, materialistic, logical and very unfeeling Ben Jordan is the comic character in the play with most of his dialogues rib tickling and cheeky. It is also evident that he is very prone to swearing as he calls his father- in- law "drunken old beggar" after it is found that the latter did not pay his premium. Henry Slater: Unlike his wife he has a sense of humanity but he lacks individualism - as he blindly follows whatever his wife says.He is not as mean and greedy as his wife but he could have stopped her if he wanted to. He is not firm or assertive but he is not in favour of any party either.
