Mr. Woodhouse

In the novel, the majority of characters are serious about judgment and decency. Some characters are wrong, some have ambiguity in their behavior, and most characters experience change or growth throughout the story. Mr. Woodhouse is not one of those characters. Reading the novel, we can notice that Mr. Woodhouse is ridiculous. Whether he urges his guests not to eat the cake, or to panic the atmospheric impact on physical health, the scenes in which Mr. Woodhouse is prominently featured bring humor and absurdity into another otherwise serious story. In spite of the absurd personality that Mrs. Woodhouse is seriously aiming for in his role in the novel, he reveals that his character also offers a satire on gender stereotypes and a stereotypical "Lord of Manor."

Analyzing the characters of the novel we can conclude that they are not changing much. Mr. Woodhouse is, of course, an example. In the bundle, Mr. Woodhouse: “I bother the air around the coast and the health risks of visiting a coastal location like Bath.” In Volume II, Woodhouse must be consulted to take into account the design and microclimate of the dance hall before reserving the space. After all, Mr. Woodhouse deserves special accommodation in Volume III during his stay at Dowell Abbey and must be put on fire despite the heat of the summer season.

Mr. Woodhouse is portrayed as a gentle and vintage. In his characterization, Woodhouse Austen deliberately promotes many aspects that readers often associate with older women, such as fear of trivial matters, resistance to changing social situations, and old-fashioned anecdotes about health.
