The Lady Character Analysis

The lady is the mother of the older brother and the younger brother, Robin. After the nurse dies, the lady takes Moll in. The lady and her family are wealthy and of the highest standing in society. When Robin falls in love with Moll and insists on marrying her, the lady is less than pleased. As a member of the lower class, Moll is not, in the lady’s opinion, an appropriate match for her son, and the lady considers kicking Moll out. However, when Moll claims to resist Robin’s advances out of her sincerest respect for the lady, the lady changes her mind about Moll. The lady begins to encourage the marriage, and she enlists the help of the older brother to convince Moll. Robin dies five years into his marriage to Moll, and after Moll leaves town, the lady takes charge of Moll and Robin’s two children.
