The Lady Windermere's Fan, a play written by Oscar Wilde, produced in 1892 shows the value of the characters by the verbal expression of their thoughts.
Duchess of Berwick one of the characters in this playwright that states her thoughts without any care. "It was quite drinkable" Berwick states about the tea she had at Lady Markby house. She does not stop there but complains about how bad the tea was and who supplies it. Berwick's language reveals how arrogant she is. "The most dreadful people seem to go everywhere" Berwick tells Lady Windermere explaining how unwanted men show up to here parties. Berwick is shown as a character that wants the best and believes to be boastful of herself as well.
Lady Windermere's value is shown through her consideration and humble verbal expressions. In line 17-19, Berwick tell her that Agatha is looking forward to her ball, Windermere responds saying "Its only a dance in honour of my birthday. A small and early." This shows that Windermere does not desire attention. Windermere is a character that does not wish for drama. " I will not have no one in my house about whom there is any scandal" Lady Windermere states this presentation that her values are not of scandal but simple party for her birthday.
Lord Darlington's value's are displayed through his idea of being an important man. ".. I have never really done anything wrong in my life." Darlington believes that he is better than anyone. He is a character in which also want to stay under the crowd. He states that "Nowadays to be intelligible is to be found out." His values are to stay important and keep a low key personality.
Oscar Wilde used the characters personalities and thoughts to show the reader, of their personalities. The way the characters expressed their thoughts through their language.
