Chapter 2 — Domestic Despots
Chapter 2 - Domestic Despots explores the strange but familiar reality where dogs, rather than humans, appear to be in charge of the household.

Chapter 24 — The Better Part
Chapter 24 - The Better Part opens with a pointed critique of the narrow, prescriptive path laid out for women in high society. Their lives, though wrapped in luxury, often lack emotional richness and intellectual fulfillment.

Despite the translator’s limitations, the play retained its soul—an achievement owed not…
