As you read the last two acts, ponder the following:
1) Laws restricting freedom of speech were passed to prevent conflict and violence. Is it worth it, either in 1920 or now? What would Thoreau say? Holmes?
2) Madeline makes a choice between Acts III & IV that is the primary subject of Act IV. What are some of the arguments that characters offer to persuade her one way or the other? What would YOU have done, and why?
3) Bonus question: What does corn seem to symbolize in the play?
