How does Mrs Fitzgerald help bring about change in Mrs Pearson's family?
Answer: Mrs Fitzgerald acts as a catalyst by helping Mrs Pearson exchange personalities with her. Through this experience, Mrs Pearson gains the courage to confront her family's selfish behaviour and demand respect. Mrs Fitzgerald's intervention also makes the family recognise that Mrs Pearson is a person with feelings, not merely someone who serves them.
Solution
Mrs Fitzgerald's bold and practical nature contrasts with Mrs Pearson's submissiveness. Her plan gives Mrs Pearson the confidence to challenge her family and creates the possibility of a healthier, more respectful relationship at home.
