AB This article explores the various interpretations that Judith, the Biblical character,experienced through the 19th century in widely circulated religious works, novels, and plays.These writings evince the transformation of this heroine’s features to adapt them to differentaudiences and contexts. The Biblical figure of the «strong woman» is transformed, througha domestication of her virtues, to fit other ideals such as «angel of the house». Similarly, heridentity shifted into a femme fatale of sorts notably disruptive of the status quo. Both modelsdemonstrate, in sum, her vital role as heroine in the 19th century while pointing at the widevariety of meanings that heroes and heroines adopt throughout history.
