        <description><![CDATA[Copyright law prevents this type of download without the author's permission, and an internet search yielded no results of any availability of the full text online.
At amazon.com, I found a digital download to a study guide for the play, as well as inexpensive used copies that can be sent via one-day shipping:

Good luck!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One example of a feminist issue in &quot;Night, Mother&quot; is the choice that Jessie makes regarding her smoking habit.  &quot;When Jessie is asked to choose between her husband and smoking, she chooses smoking. Quite simply, smoking became a freedom of choice that Jessie found lacking in her life; it represented autonomy in her life&quot;.Another example of Jessie exerting her right to choose is her decision to commit suicide.  Tired of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Because so much of the play concerns Jesse’s inability to form an identity for herself,  the issue is what sort of family would enable her to do this. She understands herself as having failed in personal relationships, and that her epilepsy has caused this, so she would think of “perfect” in terms of a family interacting with love and understanding as if she did not have this difficulty.  Her son would not be a thief and involved with...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The minor characters, Jessie's brother Dawson and his wife, her ex-husband Cecil and even her son, Ricky, serve as simply more problematic relationships that Jessie feels unable to understand, help, or manage.
