Describe the character of Mrs. Moore.

Mrs. Moore is an elderly woman with three children. She visits India with Adela Quested to see her son, Ronny Heaslop. A paragon of Christian decency and kindness, Mrs. Moore suffers from anxiety concerning her own mortality. During the expedition to the Marabar Caves her confidence in the order of the universe is shaken by an echo that she hears in one of the caves. Afterwards, Mrs. Moore becomes sullen and depressed. When Ronny suspects that she will aid Aziz in his defense, he arranges for Mrs. Moore to leave India. On the journey home, she dies from heat exhaustion.
