Who is servant?

The Bride's Servant is, in contrast to the Father, quite aware of what is happening in the Bride's house. Her exchanges with the Bride bring out the Bride's true feelings and frustrations. Throughout the play, the Servant attempts to rein in the Bride's feelings by instilling calm and caution in the young woman. Thus, for all of her enthusiastic participation in the wedding events, it is sensed that she is aware that things are not as they seem. She makes every effort to protect the Bride from herself and from Leonardo, begging Leonardo, at one point, to let the young woman alone: "Don't you come near her again."
