Among other things in 4.48 Psychosis, one of the things that intrigues me is why she uses the word c*nt once in the play: "Like every other stupid mortal c*nt". What are people's views on why she used it there? Referring to people? I found a beautiful quote from one of her other plays, though I'm not sure what it is about hope making us feel immortal, has that got anything to do with it? And what are your views on why she did the spacing and lack of punctuation like she did? Especially at the end, it's like the words are dying with her. "Open the curtains" is that after she'd committed suicide ... Is it a stage direction or is it to open the curtains in the hospital? That's where she died right? in the mental hospital? Thanks so much
