Mrs. Packletide is a character from the short story "Mrs. Packletide's Tiger" by Saki, while Luna Bimberton is a character from the short story "The Luncheon" by W. Somerset Maugham. Both stories were written during the early 20th century and reflect the social norms and values of the time.


Mrs. Packletide is portrayed as a manipulative and selfish woman who is obsessed with social status. She is willing to go to great lengths, including the hunting and killing of a tiger, to achieve her goal of being the first woman in her social circle to ride in an airplane. Luna Bimberton, on the other hand, is portrayed as a vain and shallow woman who is more concerned with appearances than substance. She is more interested in attending high-profile events and being seen with the right people than in any actual intellectual pursuits.


Mrs. Packletide's primary motivation is to achieve social status and recognition. She is willing to spend a large amount of money on the tiger hunt and to endure the disapproval of her peers to achieve her goal of riding in an airplane. Luna Bimberton's motivations are more superficial. She is motivated by the desire to be seen as fashionable and popular, and to attend the right events and be seen with the right people.


Both characters are concerned with social status, but in different ways. Mrs. Packletide is obsessed with being seen as the first woman in her social circle to ride in an airplane and is willing to go to great lengths to achieve this goal. Luna Bimberton is more concerned with being seen as fashionable and popular and is willing to spend a large amount of money on a lunch with a famous author to achieve this goal.


Mrs. Packletide's actions in killing a tiger and then lying about it to her social circle are morally dubious. Luna Bimberton's actions in spending a large amount of money on a lunch to impress her social circle are less obviously immoral, but still reflect a certain shallowness and lack of substance.

In conclusion, while both Mrs. Packletide and Luna Bimberton are concerned with social status and recognition, their motivations, personalities, and actions differ significantly. Mrs. Packletide is more manipulative and willing to go to great lengths to achieve her goals, while Luna Bimberton is more superficial and concerned with appearances rather than substance.

Mrs PackletideMrs. Packletide was a vain individual whose main aim in life was to outshine her rival Loona Bimberton. Being very wealthy, Mrs. Packltide was able to carry out many of her whimsical endeavours like shooting a tiger to outdo Loona Bimberton’s feat of flying with an Algerian Aviator. She was also incredibly lazy as she paid the villagers to set a trap for the tiger so that she can shoot it without putting herself in harm's way. Apart from being shallow and lazy, she was also very silly not only because she squandered away her wealth to realize her spiteful and ridiculous pursuits, but also because she got manipulated into paying a large amount of money to Miss Mebbin who had intentions to blackmail her.Loona BimbertonLoona Bimberton isn’t very different from Mrs. Packletide when it comes to being vain. Loona had recently flown eleven miles with an Algerian Aviator which caused a lot of annoyance to Mrs. Packletide. She in turn staged a heroic feat of shooting a tiger. In the beginning, we are lead to believe that it is Mrs. Packletide who is ridiculous and shallow, but towards the end of the story, we are acquainted with Loona Bimberton’s vanity as well. She declined the invitation to the luncheon Mrs. Packletide had thrown in her “honour” and refused to look at the single newspaper for weeks for the fear of reading about her rival’s feats. Thus in conclusion, one can say that Loona Bimberton, like her rival, is a shallow and an envious individual.
