Good Person of Szechwan (6)
Tonight, I have finished reading scene 5 of Good Person. This is where the cousin comes back to stand up for Shen Teh because of her issue with the money. Even at this point I knew that Shui Ta was not going to be able to fix things. And the way Sun was talking to the cousin about how he was going to leave her there and that she would do whatever he wanted, I thought was just her being totally taken advantage of. And how he got Shui Ta to sell the shop for only 300 silver dollars, which is a complete rip off. And then I started to kind of get hope for Shen Teh when the barber came to the shop to try and help Shen Teh and it was all going so well, until the cousin changed back into Shen Teh and she fell back in love with Sun and ruined the whole plan to help. But I understand how she feels, when you love someone you'll do anything for them. And then the interlude where Shen Teh is talking about how he thinks that there is enough good in him to pat back the old couple, and now she has promised so it makes it worse on her. I honestly don't think he would give up flying for her. But we'll see.
