Candida: A character sketch of Eugene Marchbanks

Eugene Marchbanks


Eugene Marchbanks, an eighteen-year-old poet, the nephew of an earl. Having left Oxford, Marchbanks is found sleeping outdoors by Morell, who brings him home. Marchbanks proceeds to fall in love with Morell’s lovely wife, Candida. He is shy and withdrawn in the early scenes and seems to transform into a brave lad defending his love. Marchbanks is slight, effeminate, frightened, and painfully sensitive, but he has the genuine poet’s insight into human motivations. We learn that he focuses on the belief that Candida is not happy in a relationship with Morell. In order to shape his love for Candida, he provokes Morell into a heated argument discussing who is more suitable for Candida. Here we come to know about Marchbanks being a second strongest character in the play after Candida. He challenges Morell out of his own lectures and messages. There is not a single chance of Marchbanks influenced or convinced by Morell during that heated argument and discussion. Morell is strained to believe that Candida his wife, is a free spirit and is now fed up of this boring life acting as a housewife. He is sure that his own helplessness and inadequacy will prove irresistible to a woman so purely feminine as Candida. He is horrified that Candida must dirty her hands working around the house. Well, he is also seen helping Candida like her boy and takes the least interest in other things. Unable to understand what a woman could find to love in Morell, Marchbanks demands that Candida be given a chance to choose between them. When confronted with the choice, Candida says she chooses “the weakest.” Marchbanks at once understands why Candida loves Morell: He is even more in need of maternal care and pampering than is Marchbanks. Being a strong person commanding emotions Marchbanks do not resist her decision but seems to understand it cautiously. Suddenly a man, Marchbanks leaves to get about his work, after thanking Morell for giving Candida so much opportunity to love.
