Excerpt from The Golden Era, Vol. 32: November, 1884
The prologue at Ischia introduces the Vittoria Colo nna and Julia Gonzaga, the only female characters of the poem. The former is a friend of Angelo, the latte a companion and friend of 'the Colonna' and the one that Cardinal Ippolito rescued from Barbarosa, the Moorish corsair. The women of Shakespeare are stronger in character than these, only because a greater artist wielded the pen. Julia Gon zaga is another Juliet, without the vivacity and brilliancy. She is a perfect type of passive Italian beauty and grace, created to contrast with the higher Spirited beauty of Vittoria. The character, Vittoria Collona, is drawn closely in accord with Angelo' s own idea, and as she was the Beatrice of his latter years, who gave inspiration for the execution of his grandest work, the author could not dwell too much nor too strongly on one who excels 1n spiritual nature. While to Julia, who was much younger, life still presented with effect its fond illusions, to Vittoria the glitter and the vain show of this life had lost their attractions, while her pure nature seeks the beauty of truth and charity, and heaven pronounces a benediction upon her sweet spirit.
Julia. Yet without illusions, What would our lives become, what we ourselves '9 Dreams or illusions, call them what you will, They lift us from the common place of life To better things.
