We see an example of this arrogance towards Gerald when she says ‘Go on Gerald – just you object!’, and the stage directions that it should be said with mock aggressiveness. This is one example of the many things that she says to Gerald with stage directions of such a manner. She doesn’t seem to say anything normally but has some sort of sarcastic tone to say it in when she is talking to Gerald. When the inspector comes, Sheila is very honest and open about everything that she did wrong and is genuinely apologetic about everything that she has done to contribute to the death of Eva Smith but she doesn’t want to take all the blame so she is very persistent that everyone admits to their involvement to the death of Eva Smith. She doesn’t want all the blame on her so she insists that the rest of the family says what they have done so she doesn’t feel so bad because they also ‘helped to kill this girl’ as Gerald says.

She discovers some dysfunctional traits in her family (primarily caused by her father), and observes how her family deals with these issues in order to learn. Eve Batiste, the young girl, is the daughter of a beautiful mother, Roz, and a successful and prominent doctor, Louis. Her father is a skirt-chaser, albeit a good breadwinner for the family. Eve discovers this unfortunate truth one night at a party when she encounters her father fornicating with another woman, to which Louis unconvincingly explains that he was not participating in anything improper. She shares the information of what she has just seen with Cisely, her sister who is at a mid point in her adolescence and is not aware of how to cope with her feelings.

What could I say? I’m crying because I don’t know any of the dances?” Isabel also ends up sleeping with one of her bestfriend’s husband. Since she hasn’t had sex for awhile it was easy for her to fall into seduction. “And then he was in me and I was crying out, in pleasure… It was over and wrong… what would Liz say to me?” Besides the wrong she had done, Isabel is a good person at heart and tries to redeem herself by helping out the woman she hates most, Margaret Casey. “I had to cut myself off from the danger… Margaret had no manners.But I would help Margaret
Geraldo is simply someone she danced with and that is enough for her. This youthful innocence is shattered in short order as Marin witnesses Geraldo's untimely passing and the meager efforts to save, identify, and notify his family. Marin's distraught attitude at the death of Geraldo is not simply a result of knowing someone who died, but also at the indifference with which the whole affair seems to be handled. The fact that she spent “hours and hours” (Cisneros 4) and Marin's statements of “And maybe if the surgeon would’ve come, maybe if he hadn’t lost so much blood, if the surgeon had only come, they would know who to notify and where.” (4) allude to the fact that Geraldo's death was not inevitable. Rather, it seems that there is no sense of urgency as the surgeon never even bothers to show up.
With a shadow over her head of reality, all she really needed to worry about was herself, making her a little selfish. After hearing that a girl called Eva Smith had committed suicide, her response isn’t that of much care or shock, but with a disappointed sadness “Oh- how horrible!” she later goes on to say “I’ve been so happy tonight. Oh I wish you hadn’t told me”, although she is a little shaken at the news she would have rather it not spoil her evening. This childish, selfish girl was interested in finding out more about this eva girl but her first few questions aren’t the norm, why did this happen, what was her situation, she instead goes straight to “Quite young?” and “Pretty?” as if she had to be pretty and young to get Sheila’s attention. So we can add superficial to the list of her characteristics.

At the start of the play, Medea’s nurse has briefly introduced the plot, telling how Medea gave up everything for Jason and helped him achieve what he wanted, only for him to then go and leave her to marry a princess. She talks about how badly Medea has reacted to what he has done, and the bad state she is in. The tutor then enters with Medea and Jason’s two sons. The nurse informs him how distraught Medea is and warns the tutor to keep the boys away from her, as Medea seems to hate them and the nurse isn’t sure what Medea will do to them when she is in this state.
She was in control of her actions at that time. She chose to laugh at Sheila and make her feel unsatisfied and uncomfortable about the clothing.
