Alice "The Advocate" (Scene 7)

Overall Impression: I liked this scene, I found out a lot about Henry and Alice. This scene was kind of confusing to me because I didn't know if Alice was really talking to Henry at the prison or it was just all in Henry's head.

Quote:" Stop it.. ! Please stop it! I won't have you treat me this way I never have been able to accept one person pushing another around... Because I'm a Jew, goddammit! I have been there! If you lose, I lose.(pg.84)

Alice is telling Henry about her past and what she been through that is kind of similar to what he is going through now. Alice wants Henry to know that she is not just doing this for her own good but for all colored- people. This scene is important because it develops Alice as an advocate.

Question: Is Alice really talking to Henry or Henry is just playing this event all in his head?

  1. I think maybe Henry is playing this in his head but then I again I am kind of confused as well because in the end part where the guard tells her to leave I am not sure. Maybe it’s actually both maybe in the beginning she’s in the head then later she sees him. Maybe is just an allusion him seeing her and them saying goodbye.
