Whoa! CAT
FIGHT!!!!!!!!! If anyone knows how to be
fake, it’s these two ladies, Harriet and Margaret! Throughout the play, they go back and forth
with each other and in their own heads as well!
As Harriet and Margaret have their tea party, on the side lines are
their “real” selves, Hetty (Harriet’s counterpart) and Maggie (Margaret’s
counterpart). There was so many
conversations going on it was hard to keep up!
I can somewhat relate however to the characters because I have a
part-time job as a server. Daily I feel
fake to everyone I server. Even though I
am smiling, saying things like, “How are you doing today?” or “Are you enjoying
your food?” Honestly though, I usually
do not care what you have to say. In my
head, I am saying some very rude things sometimes. My job has unfortunately changed me to where
sometimes I feel fake outside of work in my everyday life. That is what these girls are going
through. They have sunken so deep into
their fakeness, they can never be real.
Hahaha, #datserverlife. I am a server too, and I understand what your saying. It isn't hard to identify with the characters in overtones because everyone knows what its like to have your inner self screaming inside your head while the outside of you is smiling. Thats probably what made this play so fun to read, the fakeness is so disgraceful yet so relatable all at once. If my voice inside my head was embodied as a person though, you all better run and hide.
ReplyDelete"Catfight" is right haha!! It reminds me of New York and LA. In New York the people seems to be more authentic vs LA there seems to be a bunch of plastic bitches! In this case, I guess it's safe to say New York is the undertone and LA is the overtone. I too have that customer service experience and darn, people really test your patience and humility!! Good thing is that we get a break from customer service. These poor things are forced to be fake all the time seems like it.
