Compare and contrast Henry's character with that of his wife. Support your answer with evidence from they play.
Henry
was a stooping, heavy man with a droopy
moustache. In fact his sister-in law described him well when she
says “Are you such a poor creature that you must do every dirty
thing she tells you?”
Henry
was a simple man who followed all his
wife’s instructions. She asks him to wear grandfather’s
slippers; he wears them even if they are a size smaller to him.
Unlike his wife, he is attached to the grandfather: he is not very
happy with his wife shifting the bureau and the clock from his room.
He felt that the sister should amicably divide things between them.
He wished that grandfather’s obituary in the newspaper should
be nice and poetic. He tried to stop the two sisters from
quarrelling but failed miserably. Henry was a straightforward man
unlike his wife who was a manipulative lady.
