Amra
A Moabite captive girl, Madách's invention, who becomes Józsué's war-prize after the Act Three battle; her proud refusal to yield to Józsué's courtship, and her final ambiguous departure in Act Four, form a gentle comic-lyric subplot that mirrors the drama's larger theme of national identity versus assimilation.
