Talk:The Tragedy of Mariam

Note
Describing Mariam as having an "essential integrity" is an interpretation that needs a citation. This assessment of the play results from the interpretive stance that Mariam will not use deception to her advantage, even when she is faced with death. This is only ONE interpretation. One can find all the characters in the play using deception, even Mariam, and Salome has the most rational arguments for equality, while Mariam is blatantly racist and antagonistic toward her mother. Also, most scholars who examine the play are feminists, and it would be fair most would be opposed to using the word "essentialism," since this is a hot-button term used within feminist theory. --Malecasta (talk) 04:41, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you explain the claim that this is "the first work by a woman that was published under her own name"? The earlier phrasing was, I think, more accurate. — scribbling  woman  03:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
