The Moslem Doctor Aziz's character is thoroughly introduced at the beginning of the story as charismatic, conversational, open-minded, elegant and intelligent. Some scenes and dialogue in the story also show that he enjoys being in the spotlight and the center of everybody's attention. He had also shown to be arrogantly assured of his own social superiority. This heavily relates to the very main theme of the story concerning the relation between Indians and the English. Near the middle of the story, more of Aziz's character is revealed about him. It is shown that he does not take well to the common view that most English take of the Indians. He responds to trouble quite calmly in a rational fashion. Aziz's time commonly spent in a mosque also shows his dedication to Islam. At the near end of the story, Aziz showed himself to be resentful and cautiously moral. At times throughout the story, remnants of his character and personality seemed to remain the same and in other parts, it seemed exceedingly different. .
Near the beginning of the story, Aziz is having dinner with Hamidullah and other guests; he takes some time in the spotlight to quote poetry. Seeing that the other company enjoyed this, he continued to recite the limericks and bask in their attention. Later, a servant approached about a call received for him. His anger toward the servant shows his certainty of his social superiority over lower classes. In the launch of the story, Aziz is most certainly a well-educated, self-superior, open-minded man in need of the spotlight. Even with his "flaws", he breaks the conventional stereotypical English view of the average Indian man.
When Adela questions the reasons to marry Ronny and decides to confide in Aziz for help, she considers the stereotype that many "Mohammedans" usually have multiple wives. She asks Aziz how many wives he has and he takes offense to this. This shows his intolerance toward stereotypes.
