Question

how does mrs. slater plan to outshine tje jordans ? what does it reveal about her characters?

Answer 1

Mrs. Slater is not happy with her mourning dress and her family also not pleased with that mourning dress.

So, she ordered the dress for her family and her.

Her sister doesn’t know about the mourning dress.

So, she planned to outshine before her family.

This attitude shows her selfishness.

Mrs. Slater. She proved her power, perfection over others.

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.
