A good major dramatic question for Judith would be something along the lines of "Will Judith come out of the play on top?" I say this because there are times in the play where we worry about what kind of person Judith is and whether she will get lost along the way or continue what she was sent there to do. At times, it seems as though she gets caught up in pretending too much and that she really does care for Holofernes. The part where she is on the ground and can't get up is a great example of not knowing. It is like a conflict with herself of whether or not she can push herself up off of the ground and continue on. The servant is totally a catalyst for this. She is an instigator, and without her I am not sure that Judith would have played out the way it did. And even though she did "come out on top" at the end, is she even the same person as before?
Flea out!
