Question
What picture of Mrs Pearson do you form in the opening of the play and why?
Solution
Mrs Pearson appears to be a timid and confused lady. She is in her forties. She is a devoted housewife who enjoys serving her husband and children. She is ignored and made to work throughout the day. Inspite of their illtreatment, neglect and exploitation, she loves them all. She endures everything without any murmur or protest. We feel sympathy for her. We wish her to be a little more assertive.
