Eve is the most lacking in morals in the play she is the evil doer the whole play I assumed that Adam was the bad person but as you get to end and when eve debut her art show you see that the whole time is was all a game to her that Adam was just a puppet in her game.
Eve could be the one that did wrong the whole time more than Adam because Adam was played to do what he did and Adams emotions were played with even tho he was not faithful to eve, but what Adam did was wrong and eve cared for split second and continued with her games
It could be the other girl that was in on it the whole time to kiss Adam which would have a whole ripple effect and cause her to not go through with her engagement or not be friends with Adam for what he did.
I would say in conclusion that eve was in the wrong the whole time and she should've just left the situation and not been such a a**hole about the whole thing and had a smarter art project instead it was more of an experiment or revenge on men.

I totally agree with you. I also believe that Eve was lacking the most morals out of everyone this play. She was evil and mean for playing with his emotions. I see what you say about the other girl and how she was in on it all, but i still think Eve was worse of the two.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Eve is the most moral lacking character in the play.
ReplyDeleteI agree, what Eve did was terrible and she lacks the most morals
ReplyDeleteIs what Eve did wrong if it didn't have a huge impact on Adam? He didn't seem all that sad after the reveal. Does the outcome justify the means?
ReplyDeleteInteresting how you believe that Evelyn lacks the most morally but do you believe Adam was more affected than Evelyn in the end?
ReplyDeleteYou don't think Adam is at fault for allowing someone to influence his decisions? He could've simply said no but he didn't, isn't that odd?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am not for Eve being in the wrong, I can understand why you think that and I can see your reasons clearly.
ReplyDeleteThe TV manipulates us all the time. Peers manipulate us all the time ("peer pressure"). I shiny object can distract us. Are those things evil? Isn't Eve just a shiny object to Adam? In exchange for pleasure, he does whatever she says. He doesn't bother to get to know her--if he'd actually asked real questions and asked to meet her parents, etc., the game would have been up.
ReplyDeleteThe irony in all of this is Eve didn't try to get Adam to do drugs or rob a bank or quit school. She altered him to fit society's idea of beauty. The "damage" she did wasn't damage at all, unless you count the hurt feelings. But all relationships involve hurt feelings at some point.
But it is troubling that Eve could be so detached from hurting Adam so badly because she wanted to make great art and was uncompromising in trying to make it (not interested in the "Ethic of Caring").
Any way, I hope we can agree Labute's play is great art--it is uncomfortable, makes us think, and brings to light something that beneath the surface. I think the strong female character is an added bonus. I suspect if Eve was a guy and Adam was a girl, we'd take less issue with the manipulation that went on.
I think Eve is lacking the most morals too because of all the stuff she had Adam do. Even though he can make decisions for himself, Adam didn't know Eve real intentions and thought she genuinely liked him
ReplyDeleteI see why you think Eve is at fault. I do think she is immorally wrong but I still think Adam could've done more on his part.
