Question

Give a brief character sketch of helena in the rover

Answer 1

Answer:

Hellena

Character Analysis

The strong, witty, brave heroine, and sister to Florinda and Don Pedro, Hellena starts the play determined to venture out into the Carnival and fall in love, although her brother Don Pedro wishes for her to become a nun. When she meets Willmore, she is entranced by his wit and charm, and seemingly unafraid of his flirtatious, promiscuous ways. As the plot progresses, she repeatedly uses different masks and disguises (such as a gypsy girl and even a page boy) in order to ensnare her faithless beloved, even as she repeatedly fends off his attempts to seduce her and take her virginity. At the play’s end, Hellena has apparently gotten what she wants—Willmore’s hand in marriage. Their bantering and bickering, however, along with their vows to be unfaithful to each other, makes it clear that they will have, at the very least, an interesting union
