Sly makes one suppose that he feels sanctioned to mistreat a wife. The audience is supposed to put on the restraints. Katherina had been depicting a superior kind of man, deserving respect, a man that Sly is not. Also Lancelot standing alone on the stage is really accusing the audience of being "hard" and "devilish" . Yes, the background of anti-semetism is not merely in the words of some of the protagonists; it is in the laws that gave a Jew no security for his property from the tax collectors or from racial laws such as the one that prevents an alien from 'threatening' a citizen.Posted by Florence Amit on April 01, 1997 at 22:37:47
