Violet is the Winslows’ housemaid. She is a loyal servant to the family and is the first character that Ronnie reveals himself to in Act 1. Evidently, she has never been given proper training and has learned on the job. That’s why Grace is reluctant to let her go in order to free up finances for the case—she doesn’t think Violet will fare well anywhere else. She frequently—and unwittingly—plays the role of information-provider, for example accidentally giving away that Ronnie is home early. She’s also one of the only members of the household who is actually in court to witness the unexpectedly sudden victory.
