The Glass of Water

The two moments that don't go alone with the Eugene Scribe's original play is the slaps in the face buy Duchess and Bolingbroke, and the other is the Queens look out on the balcony to find a new interest.
The whole play Scribe has violence set in the background of the play with the riot and Masham killing Richard Bolingbroke. We don't see these things happening on stage but we hear them. Then all of a sudden we see Duchess and Bolingbroke start to slap each other in the face. Why have a form of violence presented after the go wround for love?
But the action of Bolingbroke slaping the Duchess was where my eyebrow raised because throuhout the play we see Scibe has chosen to put focus on the Queen and how much power she had to use in a way to achieve love. We also see that in Duchess who is also a woman in power. And we see how Bolingbroke aids Abigail in achieving a position in the Queen's court, and overall succeeding in the union of Abigail and Masham. We see these women are well respected, and why would you disrespect a respected women a slap after you have seemed to show respect to all the others.
As for the Queen's new interest which opens up a new can of power love, I know all the snswers that want to know, and this moment just wants to drag me into how she is going to control this one. Well at least she found another interest. But would you have learned your lesson.
