In chapter 5 Jean Muir finally accomplishes
what she wanted from the beginning on.
She wans to take control over the house and is clearly interested in the
wealth of the family. She is the person of the house and everybody wants to be
around her. It therefore refers to
everyone liking her and she did that with quiet a show where she slipped into
different roles depending on who she was dealing with. She is kind and loving
to Mrs. Coventry, a genuine sisterly friend to Bella and charming and loving to
the men of the house. Especially in chapter 5 we see her conquering Gerald’s
heart what was not easy because he was the only one who resisted her in the
beginning. But now even he gives in and Jean Muir successfully accomplished to
charm everyone in the house.

Good observations, especially your understanding that she changes herself according to her audience. How does she succeed with Gerald?
