...three characters mentioned, each with a servant, plus the wife's parents make up the eight personages in the play. Moliere's chief concern, as usual, was the portrayal of character rather than the construction of plot. And rarely does one of his characters change in the course of a play (like Orgon in Tartuffe). Here, there is no real denouement; Dandin finally exclaims that the best thing for him to do would be to go drown himself head first. But of course he won't and he will go right on being outwitted by his wife...
Under the Immorality Act, sexual relations between the races are forbidden. Many whites, fearful of being run in under the law, will not even drive a servant home in the evening without having wife or children along in the car.

Near by, the Chapel of Geth-semane-fenced off by a wrought-iron grille designed by Spence in the shape of a crown of thorns-is a tiny alcove...
...Kendra Stearns sits on in Please Don't Walk around like that. Since a wasp-sting can be dangerous unless it is licked, Miss Stearns, playing the wife of an ambitious politician, asks this little service of him. When he refuses, she asks it of a political opponent, a servant, and finally a newspaper reporter who obliges. The look on the relieved heroine's face as the sting is drawn out provides a fitting climax for this very amusing scene...
