Throughout the story we have seen Lady Audley as a person who doesn\u2019t usually seem scared and a person who usually controls any room she\u2019s in. During the second volume she becomes more and more jittery and nervous. This is due to the progression of Robert’s case on George’s disappearance. Robert gets deeper into his case and starts to suspect Lady Audley for George\u2019s disappearance. When he goes to Audley Court he starts to call out Lady Audley for George’s disappearance and after he keeps piling evidence on her and his suspicion of her she starts to get a little flustered. She doesn\u2019t seem as confident and calm as she usually has throughout the novel. This shows a big character trait from Lady Audley in that she might crumble from pressure. This has yet to be shown in the novel until now. At the end of chapter 13 a letter comes to Lady Audley from Robert and she says \u201c\u2018Give it me — give it me\u2019 she cried; \u2018let me see what more he has to say.\u2019\u201d In this quote Lady Audley shows her impassionance and her nervousness. She tries to hide it because she is in the company of people but it shows when she demands to see the letter. I think that this new character trait that Lady Audley has shown might confirm Robert\u2019s suspicion and all of the readers’ suspicion that Lady Audley\u2019s secret has something to do with George. I think that this character trait will become a big part in Robert\u2019s case for Lady Audley being apart of George\u2019s disappearance.<\/span><\/p>\n
