Question

How does Mrs. Slater plan to outshine the Jordans?
What does it reveal about her character?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mrs. Slater was not very happy with the mourning dresses that she and her family were wearing. In fact, she had ordered new dresses for everybody. However, she thought that her sister wouldn’t have thought of mourning dresses and so she would outshine them there. Mrs. Slater was a very superficial person. She was not concerned about it.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mrs. Slater had ordered for a new set of black dress

for all of them. She was particular that it should look

different from her sister, Mrs. Jordan’s dress. She

wanted to outshine her in this area. This shows that

she was not sad at her father’s demise but was more

bothered about how she looked during the funeral.

This brings out the degeneration in the society.
