Bitterblue is filled to the brim with brilliantly written characters who seem to leap off the page, that are captivating and who have feelings that are relatable.

Antoinette says that "There is no looking-glass here and I don’t know what I am like now…. Now they have taken everything away. What am I doing in this place and who am I?" (107). Without being able to see herself through a looking-glass, Antoinette doesn’t understand who she or what her purpose is, which is very upsetting for her.
