Question

Do you think the silent figure of Loona Bimberton in the background, plays a crucial role in the story? Explain.

Answer 1

Loona Bimberton is a London socialite who wants to be the centre of attention. Her only job in the story is to contrast Mrs. Packletide's jealous actions. After taking a flight with an Algerian pilot, Bimberton is very angry when Mrs. Packletide steals the show by saying she shot a tiger in India. There was too much attention on Loona Bimberton after her tiger hunt, and she became very famous.
