Fish, remember not to look at your paper with modern eyes. In ancient Greece, and many other classical civs, it was better to die than to live with certain dishonors. In Greece, hanging herself was the right thing to do.
however, Anouilh didn't live in Greece, and his French sensibilities enter the picture. It's been a long time since I've read this version, but I think I remember bits of it. Anouilh was existentialist, right? he lived at the right time for it. That means he was primarily concerned with doing your duty/living up to your responsibility. Did she accomplish what she should have, or at least try? Then her suicide, I would rule, is irrelevant given the morals and ethics in which the story is set.
Stacy, I don't think I even UNDERSTAND the question "Do I dare disturb the universe?" And if it's what I think it is, what the heck is the evidence that all teenagers ask this question? i think your paper should be that most teenagers aren't mature enough to consider this question applicable to themselves
