Olivia refuses to move on with her life but instead, to mourn for seven years and remember the deaths sadly for the rest of her life. This reveals her dramatic personality.

Because she will admit no kind of suit, no, not the Duke’s,” (1.2.42-46). Her ability to think so fast and adjust to the situation, proves her adaptive personality.
