Which characters appear to be miserable int he play and why? When and
how do the characters express their misery? What do the characters
desire and what stops them from going after what each desires?
The Bride is the one who appears to be miserable in this scene. Even when she was first introduced I got the feeling that she didn't really care about her wedding, just the way she walked in (previously) seemed like she'd rather be somewhere else. In this scene she acts annoyed. She obviosly does not seem content because she throws her crown of flowers onto the floor. Also she says things "gravely", "severely" and "fiercly", which does not indicate happienss to what is going on around her. We know that she has not stopped having feelings for Leonardo and I think that in this scene it really comes out and she knows she can't hide from her true wants. She can't run off with him because she knows that he has a wife and she is getting married to a man who loves her. Her desire in the end however, ends up winning when she does run off with Leonardo.
