Sheila

• " is it the one you wanted me to have?" - Sheila

  .She is seemingly unable to make decisions for herself. So far, she is conforming to the patriarchal idea of society by allowing herself to be controlled by Gerald.
• "Look – mummy – isn't it a beauty?"- Act One, Sheila

  .She refers to her mother as 'mummy'. This is just the beginning of the infantilisation of Sheila.
• Sheila rejecting Gerald's ring highlights her rejecting the typical idea of the ownership of women by men. Sheila does not accept her fate like her mother and instead decides to fight for her independence and choices.
