    Harvey Mary Chase’s one hit wonder Harvey was quite the heart warmer. Not only does it warm the heart but it also tires the belly from laughing. I would say that Harvey is a comedy of manners and contains a hint of low comedy throughout the play. Harvey is a comedy of manners because there is a little comedy of ideas that fits in that category. In a way it is funny how Elwood P. Dowd is living his life in contrast tot eh rest of society.

    PART I: + The short story‚ “No Name Women”‚ was shocking‚ horrifying‚ and almost unfathomable for me. I cannot imagine any person‚ much less a community‚ that would punish a family in such an inhumane manner as the raid described in the story. I am amazed by the dramatic differences that time and culture impose upon attitudes toward adultery. I found the rituals performed during this raid to be interesting. For example‚ the woman who waived the broom in the air to release spirits.
