I both hate and love Helen, so it's always fun to re-read this play!
Diana and the Countess are lovely, and I'd be either woman's bestie tbh.
Bertram sucks imo but like he doesn't deserve his treatment either. Like, even when you're married, consent is still important! Even if he's an elitist dingleberry, Helen's "bed-trick" is NOT okay even if she believes it's totally legal.
