Throughout Lady Windermere's Fan play readers get a feel for the unique refined society and individual values of each of the three characters presented. Although all three characters display a sophisticated society they each represent a specific part.
Duchess of Berwick represents the chatterbox of society. She functions in learning and sharing of new information to those around her. The Duchess is bold. "How do you do Lord Darlington? I won't let you know my daughter, you are far too wicked." She in fact is not afraid to speak her mind even if it is right in front of the person whom she is speaking about. The Duchess of Berwick also is very prideful of her position. Throughout the scrip readers also find that the Duchess of Berwick deeply values her social status. She gossips over the "poor" unsatisfying possessions of others. " We have just had tea at Lady Markby's. such bad tea too. it was quite undrinkable. I wasn't at all surprised. Her own son-in-law supplies it." The Duchess is very confident in who she is.
Lord Darlington is also part of the refined part of society. According to the script he is a very sarcastic humorous person. Anytime anyone else speaks he always has some sort of sarcastic or humorous comment. At one point Lady Windermere is explaining to the Duchess that the dance in honor of her birthday is not a ball but a simple dance in which it will start early and only select people may attend. At this point Lord Darlington repeats the Lady's word back to the Duchess in a comical way. Lord Darlington does not necessarily value his social status as the Duchess does. However, according to the script he is more interested in being the life of the party.

Lady Windermere's character is meek and realistic. Though she is wealthy she comes off to readers as very sophisticated and knowledgeable. " Lord Darlington is trivial." "Ah, don't say that, Lady Windermere." "Why do you talk so trivially about life then?" According to the script Lady Windemere values reality, manners and sophistication. Those in her presence automatically change their demeanor to be respectable to her.

Although the script is pretty short each character is displayed specifically in the area of society in which they fit in. Each character has things they value more uniquely to them. All three characters are different in personality, the way they respond, and the way they act but yet all three display the wealthier, more refined part of society.
