Character sketch of Lady Weston:


Lady Weston was a sensible and an excellent lady who was a total contrast personality of her husband. She was used to bear all the useless panicking tantrums of her husband and totally remained unaffected when being noticed by her husband about his death threat. Instead she started reminding him about the previous time when he made such fuss about the situations long ago. She made fun of the situation and began to laugh at his fears and even taunted him to not be such a self important person that people would plan his murder as he was not even worth for such assassins. She had been fed up by her husband senseless fears which might have occurred many times without any reason and obviously because of some misunderstandings. Though she was a sympathetic and kind soul who consoled her husband to calm down in a sarcastic tone and told him to not to worry about the condition. She brought the humorous moments during the play which was amazement to the readers. Overall she was a light hearted, humorous and sarcastic person who had been through many such situations and now was fully aware to how to handle it without any problem.
