Question

When Loureen abuses Florence, he tells her that she is "nothing" and that "nobody wants [her]" (Nottage 10). This reflects the societal belief that black women are not desirable or valuable, which can contribute to a cycle of abuse and self-doubt. Overall, the play uses race and culture as a lens through which to explore the experiences of black women in a society that often devalues and marginalizes them. By showing how these beliefs and attitudes can manifest in the relationships between the characters, the play highlights the ways in which race and culture can function as a persistent force in shaping individual and collective experiences.
