What do you think?

What do Rodmilla and Danielle think about each other?

Danielle about her stepmother:

I hate her, I hate her from the first time I saw her descending from the carriage with all her elegance. At the beginning I tried to content her but I can't stand that this woman married my father. Why? Because she is regal? Or intelligent? Or ambitious? Because she has a beauty for which other women would kill?

My lovely father; you fell in love with that woman, surely with her charm and sarcastic jokes, with her tall and svelte figure, with her exoticall look… You don't know the horrible mistake that you made.

She is so evil that she could be the Evil's lover, or even his wife. I am frightened when she looks at me with those eyes that seem like a tiger's in a haunt night.

I wonder if that woman has ever loved. Or did she really love my father? I don't but if she did, she has a strange form to express it. Father, you don't know how much she ignores your memory with other men just for sex and pleasure.

I would like to ask you if she has ever kissed you with love, or hugged you, or stared at you with kindness with her dark eyes. I hope so.

I hardly know her but I know enough to hate her, but not with all my heart, because there is something in her smile that hides some love.

Rodmilla about Danielle:

I can't live with her, but also without her. She is the only one that knows how I like everything to be.

I don't understand how can she be always so happy and warm with everybody, how can she try to be nice even with me! Agh! I don't know what can I do. She has to live here, with my family as if she was one of my daughters because of the memory of her father.

God, Auguste, you left us too soon. You were the only that know this pretty and naughty girl, with her strange and freedom.

She never had a mother; she doesn't need to behave like a noblewoman. She can ride a horse or laught loud or run as fast as the wind. I could never do that, I am a prisoner of my own status. But now she has a mother, a mother that is a slave of the society, a mother that hasn't got friends, a mother who has a little and cute daughter that surely hates me as much as you do, a mother that has never known love and has ever been alone in this cruel world.

No, Danielle, is not fair that you have all the things that I have always want to have.

That's why I hate you.
