Talk:Doubt: A Parable

message: : Sorry about my question it just that the play itself messes with your head on whether she done the right thing, the pedophilia wasn't what i was really talking about it is just you don't know whether she done the right thing or not.
::sorry.

message: I haven't seen the play but it seems obvious in these cases that the boy would be questioned and if he denied any sexual relationship the matter would end there. John celona 13:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Upon reading this article, I can't tell if the play is about sexual abuse or not. (It seems as though the film is, but it wouldn't be the first time that Hollywood sexed something up.) "Interfering" could mean anything from rape to favoritism.  Would someone who has seen or read the play please use some clearer language toward just what Sister Aloysius's suspects?

message: Is there a reliable source for the colon in the title? The publisher/licensor, Dramatists Play Service, lists it here with a comma «Doubt, A Parable». —teb728 t c 09:15, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm not a native English speaker. Is it normal in English that a nun would be called "Sister Aloysi*us*" and not "Sister Aloysi*a*" as in Germany? Also, is not "James" a male name too? Was this use of male names part of the author's intention, or is it really normal names for American nuns? -- 78.50.189.233 (talk) 00:12, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: For future reference, I'm pretty sure "Sister James" was used in order to have the same name as James, a schoolboy in the play which Sister James teaches. They are mirrors of eachothers' characters in that they both lose their innocence. Habstinat (talk) 01:02, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

text: Yes, nuns generally take on the name of a saint, either male or female or a combination like "Sister Mary John", depending on the congregation's traditions. —98.113.83.5 (talk) 06:17, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

message: I’m no editor nor do I have any sources but I just saw the play in a rural theater and then came to read this great wiki article. The doubt in the play could also be a metaphor to faith itself. The nagging uncertainty that follows faith. Seems like there are sorts of themes to be discussed. Assuming sources have written on the subject 2603:8081:8700:3E9C:98DE:9AC6:D826:424E (talk) 03:05, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
