Mrs. Levy is the wife of Mr. Levy and the mother of Susan and Sandra. Mrs. Levy mercilessly persecutes her husband, who she claims has ruined her life. She believes Mr. Levy would like to throw away all his father’s hard work that went into building the factory, Levy Pants, which Mr. Levy has inherited. Mrs. Levy’s criticisms of her husband are partly justified—Mr. Levy does hate Levy Pants and does avoid working there. However, despite this, Mrs. Levy is extremely financially comfortable, and her complaints come off as ungrateful given her luxurious life in a house filled with every modern convenience. In fact, Mrs. Levy seems bored with her comfortable lifestyle and constantly takes up causes in order to stave off this boredom. One of these causes is the rejuvenation of one of Mr. Levy’s employees at Levy Pants, Miss Trixie, a hostile and senile old woman whose only wish is to retire. Mrs. Levy will not let Miss Trixie retire, however—she berates her husband every time he suggests it—and instead takes Miss Trixie under her wing and tries to instill in her a fresh desire to work. It is insinuated that Mrs. Levy takes on these causes and criticizes her husband because she is unfulfilled and wants to avoid taking responsibility for herself or dealing with her own unhappiness. Overall, she is portrayed as a shallow, selfish woman who blames her husband for everything and is only interested in having power over him within their marriage.
