Why did Caryl Churchill name the play “Top Girls?”

                 I believe that Caryl Churchill name the play Top Girls because, it talks about women that have to live a man life in orther to success in this man world. Is about women living like a man to follow their dreams, to acomplish their goals, to be known in the world not because their women but because they are strong women ‘TOP GIRLS’, that did the same things that man do but as women. In my personal opinion im very happy that in the world that were living right now women have more participation in society. Also that women voices are heard today.

what is the relationship between love and money in the play.

First the gods came out looking for a good soul that will lgive them hospitality for a night, as they found shen te they gave her money which she used to buy the tobacco shop. Second, because she was so good and love to help others she let the people to come to stay in the shop. Also, the money and love came tigether when the elderly couple lend shen te the money for the rent. Moreover Shen Te tried to sell the shop, to raise the money for her love the pilot, who didn’t love her but wanted her money.  The barber Shu Fu offers her a check and his barracks so that she might pay off her debts and house the homeless people around her.

describe your emotional response to the good woman of zeschuan

The Good Woman of Sezchuan is a play about a prostitute name shen te who tried to live her life serving to others, which is the way that the gods like it, but also without letting people abused her goodness. For this reason is that she is forced to invent an alter ego name shui ta to protect her. As a reader I don’t feel any emotion toward The Good Woman Of Zsechuan, because something bad was about to happen to her her alter ego step up to save her, also I think she played both roles pretty good.

what is your opinion of helmers reaction to Nora's confession?

            I believe he exaggerated because, he didn’t even care about the reasons she had to do what she did, all he worried  was about  what people was going to think aboout him when they found out what Nora did. Also I think Helmer was very selfished, that all that matter to him was himself.  He treadted Nora like a doll all the time and he never paid attention to the children. Moreover, he insulteda and curse Nora out, and she didn’t even tried to defend herself because what she had done she did it for love to save Helmer’s live.
