Both female protagonists accept how they appear to others: How the duchess accepts her image is by showing how insignificant it is to her and she will also confront any that challenge her, in a argument with her two brothers, it is the brothers that are directed to leave first, from the stage directions “Exit” , which is for both brothers, it can be suggested that not only
