Isabella
Heavens can witness I love none but you:
From my embracements thus he breaks away.
O that mine arms could close this isle about,
That I might pull him to me where I would!
Or that these tears that drizzle from mine eyes
Had power to mollify his stony heart,
That when I had him we might never part.
Christopher Marlowe, Edward II, Scene 8 Lines 15-21
Isabella displays her love for Edward that seems to be unrequited after Gaveston comes into the picture. She too feels that Edward is under the spell of Gaveston and is no good for him or the country. She only wishes that she could make him see that and he would come to his senses. Later we find out that she too is hungry for power and wonder if her love for Edward was true or just to regain her power among the kingdom.
