Beauty by jane martin

I would say that Beauty represents high comedy. This play relies mostly on wit and wordplay. Bethany tries to relay to her friend the humor of the fact she found a genie and how she was able to use that to get what she really wants. However she waited to be sure of exactly what that wish would be and that was to be beautiful just like Carla. In the end that is exactly what happened Bethany and Carla switched bodies, unfortunately they didn’t switch there souls only the external aspect of what the body truly is just a body.I think the most important trait they have in common is the fact that they want to be each other more than themselves. They are able to find the good characteristics they yearn for in the other person.I think our society encourages people to be beautiful look at the magazines. There are no ugly people on there. Is there a magazine about a beautiful personalities, I don’t think so.I think in general we all want to be someone else and can find a trait or characteristic that we desire within them.I think there are millions of people, who wish they could look or be like someone else, that in some way that would solve their problems. Like Bethany said, “but the difference between those ardent multitudes and me is that I have a goddamn genie and one more wish!” In other words she had the power to fulfill her desire.I think Beauty was an effective comedy by portraying the needs of people and their desires within, even though they may not say it out loud they think about it often.
