1. According to the play, most of the men seem to have a particular idea about how a wife should behave, but do their preconceptions extend to all women? How do the women react to these expectations?
2. The play is essentially a comedy, and yet more serious questions about social issues often overshadow its comic features. Based on your understanding of this play, what are they?
