Question

How does Sir Peter feel about Lady Teazle when she is angry?

• A. He finds her especially beautiful
• B. He feels disappointed and embarrassed
• C. He tries to avoid her as much as possible
• D. He becomes indifferent and uninterested

Answer 1

Answer:

A. He finds her especially beautiful

• In Act II, after Lady Teazle storms off following their argument, Sir Peter reveals in a soliloquy that he actually finds her most attractive when she is angry.

• Despite the tension in their marriage, he admires her fiery passion and beauty in those moments. This reflection reveals his complex feelings toward her—while he may be frustrated by her behavior, he is still deeply enamored with her, even when she is at her most irritable.

• This adds a layer of complexity to their relationship, as Sir Peter both criticizes and adores his wife simultaneously.
