Script Dialogue

In the second unit for Drama, my classmates and I focused on plays and dialogues. We read Henrik Ibsen's A doll's house and The little Foxes by Lillian Hellman. Both plays focus on gender roles in society. These plays helped my classmates and I address our guiding question;"should men and women have different roles in society". We bettered our understanding of gender roles by, going to see a play called Marie Antoinette. This play showed us common gender roles during the 1700's. Given that, we then dove deep into our action project where we were to choose a historical woman and write a play with that person, and another character from a play we've already read. This play would shed light on what a historical female figure would say to someone who has been oppressed by gender roles. The character I decided to chose was, Chimamanda  Ngozi. Although she is not necessarily an historical figure she still stands up against inequality towards females, making her a feminist. She has a huge impact on my script because she changes the viewpoint of someone who has been oppressed by basic gender roles. down below is where you can find my script, enjoy!
