The Good Person of Szechwan (4)

Tonight, I have finished reading the second interlude and finished scene 3. So, now apparently Shen Teh is back and kind of gets into a quick fight with the older prostitute about just stupid stuff. I guess that niece is a prostitute also now since she was there. The guy Sun is trying to hang himslef and Shen Teh said it is because it is a dreary evening. And he doesn't deny it so I guess that could be why. They both start to share stories of how they feel the same, Sun with the airman story and Shen Teh with the Crane story. I guess by the end of scene 3 they start to form a friendship, both of them finding out one is not so bad as each other had though. Wang even shows up and is complaining about how no one will buy his water because it is raining. Shen Teh, being nice as always, buys a cup of water for her her friend Sun which is asleep now. The interlude is involving the Gods coming to visit Wang again to see how Shen Teh is doing. When Wang told them about the Carpenter not being paid in full, they got kind of angry which I thought was not right, becuase first, it was her cousin, and give them a break. How could they be so harsh when it comes to pressure like that. It's like they want her to live out on the street if it means she'll be a good person. Well I'll continue reading.
