- There's the idea of 'Nature v Nurture' Mrs Lyons tries
her best to make Eddie her own, Bringing him up how
she desires; however Eddie still finds ....
- ......himself back to his roots. And
Mrs Lyons suffers a dreadful
insecurity as a consequence of this,
and comes off as obsessive and
aggressive.
- Through out the play we view the idea of
surrogacy as a dangerous concept. We see
from the beginning that Mrs Johnstone was ...
- .. reluctant to give away her own child and in
turn we see Mrs Lyons manipulative nature as
she coerces Mrs Johnstone into giving her a
son
Anmerkungen:
- Coerce - to persuade ( a unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats
- Superstition
- Superstition is introduced into the play
by Mrs Lyons that if Mickey&Micky find
out the truth they will die.
- which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy . We
are constantly reminded this by the narrators
song 'shoes on the table'
