Seen as a pathological figure, Margaret is valid and often effective. Moreover, the play highlights how abnormal she is by setting her against a blowzy, easygoing neighbor woman and a sane and knowledgeable neighborhood doctor.

Playwright Wishengrad has identified her with something in life itself, perhaps with something that gnaws at his own insides. He pushes on toward...
