a. The
relationship between husband and wife. But this relationship not in good
harmonic. Orlando didn’t love Leticia. ( I will marry women in high circle ,
Leticia must not be an obstacles, Scene 1 ).
(Leticia
: He doesn’t love me. Thought he loved me.. , Scene 2 ).
They
are not faithful. Orlando had an affair and sleep with Nena ( Scene 3, Scene 13
) Leticia had an affair with Orlando’s friend Albertico ( Scene 19 ).
b. The
relationship between Leticia as a master and Olimpia as a servant is not run
well to. They often fight each other. We can see Scene 4, they were arguing
about steam pot, and about food. Olimpia didn’t respect Leticia.
c. Nena
as a victim got an awful tortured. She often got hit, prisoned in small room
and got a sexual harassment from Orlando. She cant do anything besides accept
that suffering.
The Character
Orlando was a violent and harsh personal who seek for
power and domininace. His ambition to
get promotion in the Military. He marry
Leticia to get power ( Scene 1 ). He wasn’t a good an faithful husband, he never listened
and care with his wife ( Scene 19 ). He sleep with Nena.
Leticia is different women , she power full ( Scene
2 ). She audacious , she talk about Orlando ( Scene 6)
Nena is a poor girl who must face a lot suffering in
her life. She lived in the street with grandpa. She like sleep with Orlando.
Olimpia was the funny character who can make us
laught and lighten up the story. Sometimes doing to stupid and talk stupid. The
character Olimpia was for neutralized the heavy and complicated story with a
joke and anything for funny, so this story not bored.
