CANDIDA: AN UNCONVENTIONAL WOMAN
Prof. Pratima N. Mistry
Abstract :
Candida’s is an eponymous character after whose name the play is named Candida. As her name suggests, she is very candid. She openly discusses Marchbank’s love for her. Nowhere in the play, are we told that she is also in love with Marchbanks. It was one–sided infatuation of a teenager. Candida feels flattered. However, Eugene’s love makes her ponder over her relationship with Morell and what is lacking in it. She does find what is lacking in it, but being a practical woman, she also finds it not a sufficient cause for leaving her Husband and her home for it. She is a practical woman who knows that one cannot live gracefully just by romanticism. She is the ‘new woman’ of Victorian era. Though economically she is dependent on her husband, she does not think her position in her home a bit inferior to her husband.
