Characterization of Charlotte Wynn

Charlotte Wynn is Margaret Wynn´s daughter and therefore also belongs to the

wealthy high society of New York. Although Charlotte belongs to the young

generation of New Yorkers, Mrs. Lidcote can see traditional manners, such as

softness, in her behavior. Therefore, it can be assumed, that Charlotte underwent a

strict upbringing by her mother, following the traditional moral code and values of

New York´s high society in the 19th century. Nevertheless, Charlotte behaves friendly

and tolerant when she meets Mrs. Lidcote and is the only person at Leila´s dinner

party, who has a conversation with the ostracized mother of Leila. Charlotte has to

leave the Barkley mansion earlier than planned because her mother calls her home

under specious pretences, which in truth is because of her meeting Mrs. Lidcote

there.
