oldest daughter (39)


The only daughter from Bernarda's first marriage. Her name translates roughly to "anguish." A sad and ugly woman, but the only daughter with a dowry, she is engaged to Pepe el Romano.

angustias

2nd oldest (30)


Bernarda's second-oldest daughter, thirty years old. A spiteful and bitter woman, though perhaps the daughter with the most realistic sense of what limitations a woman faces in their world.

magdalena

3rd oldest (27)


Bernarda's third-oldest daughter, twenty-seven years old. The most frightened and gossipy of the daughters, it is she who gives in most easily to Bernarda's demands and expectations.

amelia

4th oldest (24)


Bernarda's fourth-oldest daugher, twenty-four years old. Her names translates roughly to "suffering" and reflects her persistent depression. A hunchback, she was once engaged to a man, but Bernarda ruined it.

martirio

youngest (20)


The only daughter who willingly flaunts Bernarda's strictures and declares her true individuality. The tragic heroine of the play.

adela

madre de bernarda

maria josefa

Bernarda's head maid, arguably the woman who knows Bernarda best. At sixty years old, she is a voice of wisdom throughout the play, albeit a wisdom tinged with class resentment and hatred of Bernarda.

La Poncia

A friend of Bernarda's, fifty years old. Highly religious and consumed with regret over having let her husband banish their daughter.

Prudencia

sainete

between 2nd and 3rd act
