IA Proposal

Between the Pool and the Gardenia andNight women will be mixed in the play. There is a similarity in both stories which is the love for their children.

Why will it be interesting?

Two stories have many similarities such as living without a husband, economic independence, and extreme love for their children, while the night woman has implied her opinion to day women, who spend their daytime to work hard for their families. However, since the night woman has a positive reason for her son, the night woman plays a justice role. By contrast, the super psycho love of "day woman" is always understood as a negative character. Readers would be misled by the author that actually maternal love can't be judged by justice. When two stories are mixed up, audiences may change their perspectives to these characters.

Characters List

The narrator from Night Women

Marie

The story begins at the dawn after the night woman just finished her job. She has a tobacco outside and sees Marie walking on the street. Marie finds a quiet lost child on the street but the night woman sees that as well. Marie in the household room takes care of that dead baby. The play goes by crossing the narration between two women or exchanging the characteristics of two kids. In order to enhance the spirit of Haitian women, to enhance the spirit of night women and day women, living or death of a kid is not important. Also, there are few descriptions to children in both stories. Narrators are women, while audiences are able to be their kids to see the play going. The day woman is always gloomy and the night woman is a sunbeam as well their tones, but the staging is accord with their working environments.

Night women work at night, exposed in the dark. Day women work in the morning, sneaked under the light. The goal of both stories is not comparing. Except for their love for children, the independence of Haitian women is shown. Haitian widows are the pioneer of Haitian women. Even though whatever day or night, women are responsible for majorities' vision and gender discrimination. The current situation of both kinds of women is caused by the male, but they have different opinions toward the male. Night women want to persuade her son to have a positive impression to male, while the day woman recognizes male as evil at the end when she is accused to do evil things.
