02Appearance
03Personality
Dr. Soper appears to be a man who can mask his emotions very effectively to appear calm and approachable; when Mary Mallon leaves the room through the window during her interrogation, Soper immediately dropped his affable persona and, in a fit of rage, called her a "disgusting little woman". Soper seems to despise Mary Mallon for refusing to cooperate and continuing to cook infected food.↗
04Story
SPOILERS
The Ultimate Choice That Actually Existed: Typhoid Mary
Following the incident of summer, 1906, where many of the attendants of a party in Oyster Bay were hospitalized after eating Mary Mallon 's food, Mary is interrogated by Dr. Soper. Despite her cheerful demeanor, the mention of the ill guests provokes her into defending her cooking. Soper explains that the guests have fallen ill with typhoid fever, a potentially-lethal disease with a mortality rate five to seven times higher for elderly people and infants.↗
In 1915, Mary reappears at the home of an old blind man and his infant child. After drinking a bit of the baby's milk, Mary prepares to give it to the baby, certain that her cooking makes people too happy for them to be suffering from it. Fortunately, a series of coincidences barely keeps the baby away from the bottle of milk long enough for Soper and the police to arrive. Mary, cornered, attempts to flee through a window once more, only to be arrested again.↗
