Sketch the character of Mrs. Pearson.

The character of Mrs. Pearson can be best studied in three parts: (a) before she changes her personality with that of Mrs. Fitzgerald; (b) After she changes her personality with Mrs. Fitzgerald; and (c) After she becomes her proper personality.

Before Mrs. Pearson changes her personality with that of Mrs. Fitzgerald she is an ideal housewife. She spends all her time in looking after her family, waiting on them like a servant and meeting all their needs. She suffers in silence and does not express her resentment for fear of creating any unpleasantness in the house.

After changing her personality with Mrs. Fitzgerald she is bold and defiant. She refuses to obey their orders. She speaks to them impudently and shows them their proper place in the family.

After Mrs. Pearson become her proper personality, we note a marked change in her behaviour. She is no longer meek and submissive and docile. She knows how to suggest to them with a look for a tone of voice that she is mistress of the house and she could be tough with them if she wanted to be.
