Character of Philip:
Philip is the husband
of Rosemary. He is aware with the nature of his wife. He is one of the minor
characters of the story, but he plays a very important role in the story.
Rosemary took Miss
Smith at her home and decided to serve her as her sister. She thought, by
helping Miss Smith she can gain good publicity and people will appreciate her
act. When Philip come home and he saw Miss Smith and told Rosemary that she
should not allow a poor girl to stay with them but Rosemary was not ready to
understand what Philip was trying to tell her. He said,
"But
what on earth are you going to do with her?" cried Philip.
In this case, Philip was
smart husband. He was aware with the fact that Rosemary is not doing all this
with her heart. Philip attacked on the weakness of every woman. He said that
Miss Smith is pretty girl and this compliment was a kind of a hammer on the
mind of Rosemary. Rosemary thought that if Philip will admire Miss Smith time
and again then what will happen with their marriage life. She told Miss Smith
to leave and also game some money. After that she asked her husband,
“Am I
Pretty?”
We can observe that the
character of Philip is a necessary part of the story. He has helped Rosemary to
come out from her artificiality. He has put a mirror upon the ‘fake-reality’ of
the charity system of rich people or the upper class.
