Melodramatic characters tend to be wholly good or completely bad. Strindberg claims that his modern characters display mixtures of virtue and vice. Explain?

I can really only comment on The character as I'm not too familiar with Strindberg. The tragic protagonist of the play and the twenty-five year old daughter of the Count who owns the estate in which it is set. She is headstrong and imperious as a result of her mother raising her to adopt the cultural position of a man. These aspects of her personality led to the breaking off of her former engagement and resulting shameless behavior. Her character is of a dual nature, switching between social superiority and dalliance with her more common associates, desiring dominion over men but also her own downfall.
