Matilda is the beautiful 18-year-old daughter of Manfred and Hippolita, and Conrad’s sister. Matilda, a Virgin Mary figure in the novel, is extremely pious and wants to join a convent rather than be married. She is devoted to her mother’s happiness and well-being and entirely aware that in her father’s eyes, she is essentially worthless because she is female. However, Matilda still loves her father and seeks to be a good daughter as best she can. Much to Matilda’s surprise, she falls in love with Theodore. However, she is willing to obey her mother and father and give up Theodore to marry Frederic, Marquis of Vicenza. This decision saves her family’s lineage and the proprietorship of Otranto and proves to be part of her undoing, which she acknowledges after her father fatally wounds her with a dagger meant for Isabella. On her deathbed, Matilda’s response to being mortally wounded—forgiving her father for slaying her—unleashes goodness in Manfred in the end. She contributed as the forbidden woman, a facet of Gothic literature. it helps to bring to light all of the darkness Manfred has been aiding and abetting and works in accord with the supernatural elements in the novel, and it helps resolve the plot.
