The son's character is refined by the high class of society he is involved in. He is proud, arrogant and believes himself to possess the qualities that were demanded in a gentleman's society. This is obvious in him even as a young boy, in the way he carries himself- with all the polish of a public school student. He is fastidious, impatient and sometimes very unfeeling; this is evident in the way he behaves towards his mother. He is annoyed at the mistakes she makes and insists that she corrects herself, and says so in a harsh way. Thus we can also say that he is insistent. He oversteps the guidelines of behavior towards elders, especially when it concerns one of his parents, through this. So he is rude and overbearing. As the story progresses, we find that he is ripped away from basic human qualities- he has no feelings for the underprivileged, or the so-called low class of society, other than contempt and disrespect and down to earth prejudices.
