Quote: "Willy (slapping her bottom): Right, Well, bottoms up! The Woman:(He suddenly grabs her and kisses her roughly.) You kill me. And thanks for the stockings. I love a lot of stockings. Well, good night. Willy: Good night. And keep your pores open! The Woman: Oh, Willy!"(26).
Response: This encounter definitely caught me off guard. I understand that this play is set back in a different time but I honestly wasn't ready, and in the quotes that follow it appears that Linda is close by or at least close enough to know what is going on. This was all a little unsettling and it seemed unnecessary. I do not feel as though Willy had to do what he did and he especially did not have to do it in front of his wife! Makes me question what he does when she is not around.
