Gabriella Gallaga 2300.01 The Monk 1

Ambrosio, the renown priest in Madrid, is first depicted as a very ridged. A stiff character as noted by Leonella, Antonia's aunt. It is not until he leaves the monetary where he is then comes across situations where the situations are not clearly marked with white and black. Antonia is a character who also suffers from an idealist view of human nature to a certain extent. She knows of death but she still views thing very optimistically. She is seen as the personification of innocent. Lorenzo dreamed her to be a bride blushing with virgin ideals. Lorenzo comes off as very rash and full of passion. It could be contributed to his age. There are several times where he almost gets into a duel simply because someone said something slightly disagreeable.
