Jean Muir wanted all the people in the house, especially the men, to love her. She thrives on the attention men give her and knowing that she can control these men through a series of actions. She takes time to get to know the men and tailors a specific plan of action that will win their heart. Then she refuses them leaving them heartbroken, like she probably was once.
Seducing Ned was easy because she was so open-hearted and young, but Gerald was more difficult. She first ignored him and peaked his interest by purposefully not being around him. All at once, she confides her dark secrets into him and makes him feel 'warm' instead of his typical 'cold' self. No woman has ever done this before and he enjoys it.
Jean hopes to succeed in making every man love her and pitting the members of the household against each other, thus creating chaos in the once peaceful house. She loves to see everybody else be as miserable as she is.
Good observations! Does she have an aim beside making others miserable?
