Dovey Morgan Character Analysis in Paradise

Soane Morgan is Steward Morgan’s wife and Soane Morgan’s sister. Despite Steward’s success as a town leader, she only thinks of her husband in terms of his losses, the greatest of which is his and Dovey’s inability to have children. Dovey discusses the conflicts in Ruby with the other women in town, but she does not trust herself to form opinions on them. She only ever talks openly with a stranger who she knows only as her “Friend.” Dovey is close to her sister Soane until the attack on the Convent; Soane maintains that Steward shot Connie, while Dovey insists that he is innocent since she did not witness Steward pull the trigger.
