Her demeanour throughout the play is unchanged and she remains snobbish, uncaring and dismissive of others
She is presented as a symbol of the privileges of the upper classes and their selfish conduct
She is extremely conscious of her high social position
She is more arrogant, dismissive and prejudiced than her husband
She treats the Inspector as socially inferior
She views the working class as morally inferior
She refuses to believe Eva would turn down stolen money as she is not capable of the same level of morality as the upper classes
She refuses to use Eva's name and refers to her only as a "girl", as though Eva is not worthy of being recognised as an individual
She is a prominent member of a local women's charity but her role is not due to a concern for others less fortunate than herself, but as a symbol of status
She is indifferent to the fact that she refused assistance to Eva and her grandchild and is devoid of any empathy for them
When she realises her son is the father of the child, she still maintains that the charity ought to deny assistance to people it considers undeserving of aid
She comforts herself by insisting that she had done her duty
She initially refuses to believe Eric could be the father of Eva's child and refuses to acknowledge he has a problem with alcohol
She remains deeply entrenched in her prejudiced ways and unchanged by the end of the play
She is the least affected character by the tragedy and could be perceived to be the most resistant to the Inspector's message
