Mrs. Gilbert Character Analysis

Mrs. Gilbert is the young woman married to Peter Gilbert. While she doesn’t say much in the play, what she does say generally demonstrates an enthusiastic attitude to life with a hopeful attitude towards the future. She takes an excited look around Andrew and Millie’s flat, evidently eager to make it her own when she and her husband take it over in the new term.

The Browning Version Quotes

GILBERT: (Brusquely.) Darling. The Crocker–Harrises, I'm sure, have far more important things to do than to listen to your detailed but inaccurate account of our very sordid little encounter. Why not just say I married you for your money and leave it at that? Come on, we must go.

MRS. GILBERT: (To MILLIE.) Isn’t he awful to me?

MILLIE: Men have no souls, my dear. My husband is just as bad.
