Judith
The MDQ that I came up with for the play Judith was, did Holofernes want to be killed? He talks about how he fights in these wars and sends people to their death and I think maybe he felt remorse for it and felt like he deserved to die just as much as the men that he sent in to battle. He also didn't put up much of a fight when the servant is telling Judith to kill him. I also wondered if Judith actually wanted to kill him. Even though she said she was not being truthful with him, it did seem like she sort of loved him or at least admired him. The closer it got to killing him, the more hesitant she became.

I think he wanted to be killed by Judith. I think he was infatuated with her just as he was death and war. I think Judith didn't want to kill him, but I think she had to!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great MDQ. I feel like he did want it in a way, because he knew these ladies were there under false pretenses. We know that when the MDQ is answered, the play is over. Do you think this question was ever answered? Do you think he knew that Judith would in a way "become him", and that was maybe what he wanted all along?
