She claims her rigorous rules are intended to protect the family’s virtue and honor. Bernarda is deeply committed to preserving their reputation and maintaining their esteemed position as the village’s leading family. However, her daughters both the still young and the somewhat older ones are increasingly stifled by their unfulfilled dreams and desires.
