A person who is vain is full of self importance and can only think of himself/herself and can go to the great lengths to prove his/her superiority. Do you think Mrs. Packletide is vain? Give reasons in support of your answer?
Yes, she is vain. In order to get fame, and prove her superiority over Loona Bimberton, she exceeds the limits of honesty and truthfulness. She pays a hefty amount to the villagers, to her companion and even buys her a cottage to keep her mouth shut.
