Cathlics believe in Forgivness. Jews believe in guilt.

On Act I, scene VI.
I love the split scene with Joe and Harper, and on the other side, Rabbi and Louis.
The rabbi is funny, and i love when he says
"Cathlics belive in forgivness. Jews belive in guilt" (Kushner 1475).

Because its sooo true! If you look at the bible, we are really just guilt tripping everyone. Like, when god sends Adam and eve out of the Garden of Eden becasue they eat teh forbin Fruit... he wants them to forever feel guilty bout what they have done. He wants to not only punish them, but force themselfs to the piont where they punish themselves.

And its true. To me, even though i havn't gotten far in the paly, i feel as if the characters are punishing themsellves because tehy're diffrent. Gay, or...pill-poppers. Diffrent.
Even thogu they dont phsically do it, or say it...not even metaphorically...but i don't know. I just feel that they are hiding the true from not only their peers and or spouse...but from, them selves. They are punishing themselves but only seeing lies.
