I think Regina was more like the hero. Her selflessness was something I really liked.

For me it's Regina. She helped Ron financially. This way something that touches my heart. I thought she did it because somewhere deep inside her heart she blames herself for the death of a student in the lab. I guess helping Ron and mentoring him was her way to cope with the incident.

I think in a way, they were both heroines but I think Regina was more of the hero because she spent so much time educating him. With that knowledge, he could have done so much! On the other hand, who doesn't like money? I would say that both women certainly were important in Ron's life.

I think Regina is the perfect example of a heroine. From my point of view, she was a mother, tutor, and partner for Ron, and her brilliant experiments changed Ron's approach to life and the observable universe.

Regina is the hero, starting from his outbringing she has always been there until he grew to be a man. Regina have not only rescued him financially but she also made a positive impact by mentoring him and supporting him emotionally too. Ron learnt a lot from this woman.

Too many times, egos get in the way of scientific discovery. As far as Sheila, as soon as things did not go her way, she dropped Ron and abandoned her marriage. Not her best moment.

A nail right on the head😌. I am agreeing with you here, Sheila was too quick to give up on Ron while Regina has been there in each and every step of the way

Professor Regina has to be the hero. She deserves the accolades. She positively impacted Ron’s life and she didn’t relent in making sure he becomes a better person.

I go with Regina. She was the one who had the greatest impact on Ron's life. He might have missed out on everything important if he had focused only on accumulating wealth.

They are both heroines in the life time of Ron. In making my choice, I will root for Regina as she helped him built a substantial and meaningful life compared to just having wealth. Without his self discovery, he will not be in a position to help Sheila's family in sustaining or building the wealth. What Regina inculcated in him actually helped him to stand the test of time in life. So Regina is the heroine.

I do feel that the both of them are heroes because self-discovery less him to that wealth and the wealth made him discover himself even more.

I don't like giving other people the credit when a person achieves something, whether it's a personal or material thing. But if I were to choose between Regina or Sheila on who made a bigger and more important impact in his life, I'd say Regina

In a sense, both women can be considered heroines, but I perceive Regina as the primary hero due to her significant investment of time and effort in educating Ron. Equipped with the knowledge she imparted, he had the potential to accomplish great things. However, it is undeniable that the allure of financial stability is universal. Therefore, I believe that both women played crucial roles in Ron's life and made valuable contributions to his development.
