Comment on Jeanne's post

I also think this a very good idea about the plays. I think that also plays well into the feminist issues we discussed in class and I expounded on in my post.

Only the upper class women can take control of their lives, yet they are the ones displayed as the most helpless. Barbara is very distraught about her decision then is able to make a choice and becomes crazy. Yet the characters portrayed in Paul's play are very strong and independent. So why are the women who are in the upper classes always portrayed as weak? I this these things would tie in well together when we create our thesis as a group.
