The few times that Una tries to put up a fight, she loses miserably, and then she spends the rest of her time lamenting how (she thinks) everyone has forgotten about her that she's alone in the world, she's a monster, et cetera, et cetera. The passivity is what really saddened me, though. I felt sorry for her at times, but mostly I too busy being disappointed over the fact that she was passive and foolish with giving her heart away. While I didn't find Una irritating at any point, I can't exactly say that I ever sympathized with her not exactly. Sassy? Brave? A romantic? Whimsical? Tough? Likable, annoying good, bad? I am going to assume that the Author wanted Una to be a sympathetic character a victim of circumstance, a romantic at heart, girlish and whimsical with her views on true love - but in the end sympathetic. I feel like the Author couldn't quite decide herself what sort of character she wanted Una to be. Characters: I never was able to determine my opinion of Una.
