问题 MRS. WARREN, [after looking at her helplessly, begins to whimper] Vi vie
VIVIE. [springing up sharply] Now pray dont begin to cry. Anything but that. I really cannot stand whimpering. I will go out of the room if you do.
MRS. WARREN. [piteously]Oh, my darling, how can you be so hard on me? Have I no rights over you as your mother?
VIVIE. Are you my mother?
MRS. WARREN, [appalled]Am I your mother! Oh, Vivie!
ViVIE. Then where are our relatives? my father? our family friends? You claim the rights of a mother: the right to call me fool and child; to speak to me as no woman in authority over me at college dare speak to me;to dictate my way of life;and to force on me the acquaintance of a brute whom anyone can see to be the most vicious sort of London man about town. Before I give myself the trouble to resist such claims, I may as well find out whether they have any real existence. Questions:
A. Identify the author and the title of the play from which the part is taken.
B. Summarize the theme of the play in one or two sentences.
C. What kind of person is the protagonist Vivie?
