The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Mrs. Warren's Profession by George Bernard Shaw: VIVIE [studying him curiously] I suppose you really think youre
getting on famously with me.
CROFTS. Well, I hope I may flatter myself that you think better
of me than you did at first.
VIVIE [quietly] I hardly find you worth thinking about at all
now. When I think of the society that tolerates you, and the
laws that protect you! when I think of how helpless nine out of
ten young girls would be in the hands of you and my mother! the
unmentionable woman and her capitalist bully--
CROFTS [livid] Damn you!
VIVIE. You need not. I feel among the damned already.
