Character sketch on vitoria ' the white devil' drama
Answers
Vittoria is Cornelia’s daughter, wife of Camillo and the sister of Flamineo and Marcello. She is central to the play, as her love affair drives the plot. Although Vittoria is married to Camillo, the audience is able to sympathise with her, as he is much older than her and not a suitable mate for her. Vittoria is a creature of beauty, frequently referred to as the ‘fair Vittoria’ etc, we can also assume that she is very beautiful because men are attracted to her in the play. Vittoria is a strong and capable woman in her own right, she shows in court that she is wise and able to defend herself. She is a controversial character in that the audience have to decide whether she is a good woman who has been corrupted by the men surrounding her, or whether she is scheming and responsible for the deaths of her husband and Isabella.
If I were to cast someone as this role, I would cast someone who is very beautiful, possibly of Italian descent with olive skin and dark hair.
