Question C:
In Act 1, when Elsa and Helen are discussing Katrina (Helen’s “maid”), Elsa says:
“There’s nothing sacred in a marriage that abuses the woman” (p. 11). Use this statement as a starting point for a discussion of the way the play represents women’s rights to express themselves freely.

We meet Mrs Helen, one eccentric old lady, Elsa, a bitter or an outspoken, modern city girl and the pastor of know all, Harris.
