She married Verloc not for love, but to provide a home for her mother and brother, and so that they could all escape from her abusive father.

Winnie is a loyal wife, despite being attracted to Tom Ossipon. She cares deeply for her young brother Stevie - a relationship which is more like mother and son.

Outwardly tough and able to cope (and deal with the customers in the shop), Verloc’s actions prove tragic for their relationship.
