Benarda+Alba+-+Characterisation+-+ANGUSTIAS

- Her name means anguish (which means great mental distress or suffering) Her name does reflect what she experiences throughout the play - Although Angustias knows that she's undesirable and that Pepe El Romano only wants to marry her for her money, she is desperate to get away from her oppressive mother. Shes gloomy, unattractive and old. 'After all, if she looked like a scarecrow when she was twenty, what can she look like now that she's forty?' -All her sisters envy her because she inherited her father's fortune and is getting married to Pepe El Romano- who is only 25 years old (due to Angustias's, conflict is aroused)  -The sickliest of the daughters, Porcia says shes unlikely to survive childbirth
