Response to Blog Post 2
To determine which character is the most lacking of morals we must analyze each of the four characters individually and closely. During most of the play, Jenny is dating Philip and Adam is dating Evelyn. However, we find out at the end of the play that Evelyn has been manipulating Adam the entire time and is not actually in love with him. It was all an experiment on her part.
One possible answer is that no one is lacking morals anymore than the other. The blog post prompt is arguing that no one has a duty to one another. It is also arguing that everyone already subconsciously influences one another everyday and all day. This is getting into philosophy and saying that either no one lacks morals or everyone lacks morals.
Another possible answer is that Evelyn is the most lacking of morals. Jenny and Philip seem to have a healthy and real relationship for the most part (with a few brushes with cheating). Adam also seems to think that the relationship is real the entire time. Eve is the only one that fakes out. She manipulates Adam into changing his physical appearance, letting go of his closest friends, and asking to marry her by giving her a ring. All of these things were done without Adam's knowledge. The worst part about this is possibly that Eve doesn't even feel bad about any of it. She definitely lacks the most morals.
Eve lackking the most morals seems as the most perfect answer. I don't believe that everyone is equal in terms of morals. Eve clearly made someone suffer for her own benefit and didn't even care at the end. She lacks the most morals out of her 'friends'.
