Frederick Lawrence Character Analysis

The owner of Wildfell Hall. In the first half of the novel, told from Gilbert Markham’s perspective, it would seem that Frederick Lawrence is the secret lover of Helen Graham—but in reality, he is her brother. He is also the romantic target of Jane Wilson, who hopes to marry him for his money and station. When Frederick finally becomes aware of Jane’s true materialistic character, he abandons her for the much worthier Esther Hargrave.
