- What kind of person enjoys depriving a woman of her honor (virginity)?
- Why is stealing her self image somehow sweeter when the woman involved is about to be married?

- Do you have friends who fit into this pattern? (Be sure to cite examples from your reading of the play.)
- Which character did you find repulsive, repugnant or both?
- Which character did you admire or at the very least feel empathy toward by the end of the play?
