Olive and Flo

            After viewing the play and taking the time to think I concluded that I do not believe Olive to be as positively affected as Flo. Throughout the play Olive continuously bashed Flo for her cleanliness and mother like charm. This was a constant theme that I did not believe would change, although it did. Towards the end, Flo realized what she had been doing for Olive and realized it was a good quality that people would appreciate. The two Spanish brothers she moved in with are a perfect example of these people who would appreciate her. On top of her realizing she had good qualities she also allowed herself to open up into a new and non-cautious person. Flo thanked Olive for this and explained to her moving in with her and being kicked out by her were the two best experiences of her life.

            Olive on the other hand, I do not believe benefited in as much of a way from this experience. I think during the experience of living together Olive felt completely taken over by Flo which caused her to get mad instead of change. She should have realized how nice it is to have someone at home to do all those amazing things for you. In the end I believe that Olive still benefited a bit because of her expression after Flo left. It was obvious to me that Olive regretted what she had said and wanted her to come back. This is why I believe Olive did benefit a bit from this experience. In the end I think they both took away some positive and negative aspects because of this experience, although I feel that Flo most definitely was more positively affected.
