Discussion/Analysis Prompt
Consider the three daughters’ choices in the play. Do you believe their actions to be disobedient? What role does tradition play in the play overall? Are traditions worth upholding in most circumstances? Can traditions be transformed over time, or must they remain the same?
Teaching Suggestion: These questions encourage students to recontextualize their prior response to the play. Based on the level of the class, this prompt works as an opportunity for in-class discussion on the concepts of disobedience and tradition.
