One may think while reading Ivanhoe that Rebecca does not fit Aristotle's qualifications for a character because she is stubborn, is not always lady-like, true to life or consistent. However, it is on the contrary. Rebecca is in fact good, proper, true to life and consistent. To be good is to be kind, well-behaved, and virtuous. Rebecca from Ivanhoe is kind, well-behaved
