Question

In the play tue two daughters do not seem to be concerned at their father's death.do you think it is proper .

Answer 1

Mrs. Slater and Mrs. Jordan were not grief-stricken at the presumed death of their father. They were materialistic and wished to get the bigger share of their father’s inheritance. No one actually grieved at his departure. Mrs. Jordan wanted a long poem to be inserted in the obituary, which depicts her pretentious nature. Mrs. Slater was concerned that it would cost a lot of money and opposed the idea. Thus, both the sisters lacked filial affection.
