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.

Amra, a Moabite captive girl who becomes Józsué's war-prize after the battle of Act Three; her proud resistance to his courtship and her final ambiguous departure in Act Four form one of the drama's most charming subplots, paralleling in miniature the larger theme of national assimilation.
