Question

In King Arthur's Socks: A Comedy in One Act, Vivien says, “Oh, there's lots of things I can do. Cry, for instance.” What does she mean by this?
A. She has a sincere love for Lancelot.
B. She plans to manipulate Lancelot.
C. She is disturbed by her emotions for Lancelot.
D. She is grieving because Lancelot rejected her.

Answer 1

B. She plans to manipulate Lancelot.

Vivien knows that Lancelot is leaving in twelve hours for the train so she plans to do whatever she can to manipulate him into staying. She says she can cry, and that he probably has never seen a woman cry before, so she'll definitely try it.
