Who is Ralph from Wideacre and what is their importance?

Ralph is employed as gamekeeper at Wideacre. He and Beatrice connect as children, and when they meet as young adults, their connection is rekindled. Over time, they become lovers. It is Ralph who suggests killing the Squire—Beatrice's father. After he commits the act, however, Beatrice cannot forgive his crime. She sets a man trap, calls to Ralph and leaves him for dead. However, he does not die and lives on to lead the peasants during the riots against the wealthy.
