Back to Black Beauty - The Autobiography of a Horse
From "Black Beauty - The Autobiography of a Horse" by Sewell, Anna
Mrs. Gordon
The Squire's wife, a kind woman, but less knowledgeable about horses.
Core Belief
"Animals should be treated with kindness, but their care should be guided by established practices and the advice of experts."
Worldview
Mrs. Gordon views the world through a lens of social propriety and domestic comfort. She values order, safety, and the well-being of her family and animals, but her understanding is limited by her lack of experience.
Personality
Mrs. Gordon is a gentle and well-meaning woman, but she can be somewhat fearful and lacks a deep understanding of horses. While she cares for their well-being, her anxieties sometimes lead to unnecessary restrictions or interventions.
In Their Own Words
"‘Oh, John,’ she said, ‘I hope you will be very careful; I am so afraid of anything happening to him.’"
"‘I hope he will be quite comfortable,’ she said, ‘and not miss his old home.’"
"‘Do you think he is quite safe, John?’ she asked."
