Leonora Character Analysis

Leonora is the protagonist of a story-within-the-story that a woman tells in a coach. She is vain and dumps her lover Horatio when she has a chance to woo the seemingly even nobler lover Bellarmine. Bellarmine, however, isn’t as rich as he appears, and he rejects Leonora after her father’s marriage proposal is too stingy. Leonora shows the dangers of superficial thinking.
