Rita seems different from the beginning of the play.When she meet Frank she speak differently.She talked to Frank that her friend Trish told her she needs to speak properly all the time in order to practice.
Sometimes as students we tend to do the same and then we feel that we belong as the rest of the students.
She has become much more conscious of her capacities . She relates with other classmates and even argue Frank when discussing his point of view on her essays.These changes make Frank be jealous.
'What I'm saying is that it's up to the minute, quite acceptable, trendy stuuf about Blake; but there's nothing of you in there! This is what Frank want to say is that for him her essay on 'The Blossom' is not well done he wants to show her that, although he cannot say that her essay is not wrong, he wants to make her aware of the fact that what she has written is not based on her own views. He think whenever Rita acting in this way, she is not trying to improve herself but trying to change herself.
In fact, Frank does not want Rita to change because he feels she is losing her essence.
What I feel at this point,is that she uses her new way of speaking in order to fit in and not because she feels she learn to speak properly.After all,what Rita is doing now, is to speak in the same way like everyone around speak.So, what I have said in the previuos paragraph is dubtful, Has she grown and learned or is just an image?

Good question, Marucha! And the mos interesting part is Rita answers this herself as she "talks properly" ;-P! Why is she doing all this (speaking "properly", seeing the right people, discussing certain topics)? Is she following her passions, or just doing as she thinks others expect her to? In the latter case, what's the difference with her situation at the beginning of the play?
Can you understand Frank's feelings about it all? If you were Rita's teacher, what would you do?
Peace,
Gladys
